Fullerton March 15, 2008

I went down to the Fullerton Amtrak Station to hang out with some of my friends on Saturday, March 15th. It was cold and windy when Samantha and I first arrived. The group of friends wasn't as big as I had expected, but that didn't matter. The train action was better than the night before and offered a few photographic opportunities the results of which I plan to share in this post.


This first image has BNSF 5224 heading east and backlit with light shafts streaming down from the clouds.














BNSF 5432 heads into the setting sun as a couple photographers on the passenger platform capture images of the train going away.















After BNSF 5432 cleared the station, SACX 868 pulled into the station for its scheduled stop.















A westbound trailer train passes through the station on track 2 as the Southwest Chief, bound for Chicago, approaches on track 1














Passengers line up to board the Chief.














One of the crew shoots the breeze with a couple people on the platform.















All in all, we had a good evening hanging out with friends and watching the activity around the station.
