I think it's attached to the steering wheel.

Anyone have an update on the Venture cars in California? The first set was delivered over 2 years ago and to my knowledge they still haven't been put in service. Also, it seems like the news cars will be staying in Northern California and the old California cars will by coming south to the...

They don't sell out. They'll just sardine pack it if they need to. I have been on a few Surfliners that were standing room only. Even with added cars. I'm talking people sitting on the stairs and in the bathrooms. Aisles packed like NY subways. Conductors don't even check tickets at that point...

Yeah, I follow the Surfliner twitter account and they'll tweet whenever this happens in order to inform passengers of delays. Unfortunately this is almost a daily occurrence on the Surfline alone. And like Triley said, a one hour delay is actually really good. Normally you can expect around 3 hours.

That's definitely a freight train.

I heard the trespasser tried to (or did) set a fire to 1400. Anyone have more info? And does anyone know the extent of damage to the two units?

Got it. Thank you for the responses gentlemen!

Hello everyone, I am taking the Cascades from PDX to Seattle in December and have a couple questions about the PDX station. I have taken the Surfliner countless times so I know all the Amtrak basics. But it sounds like some of the procedures are a little different on the Cascades route. For...

California will need cab cars as well.

I thought Mexico was paying for it....

I recall a while ago a poster on here said that he confirmed with LOSSAN that the majority of the F59phi's on the Surfliner would be replaced by Chargers. We're now seeing Chargers coming out in California paint and not Surfliner paint. So, was that not true? Or will we also see Chargers in...

I'm wondering the curtain in the aisle is for...

The superliner car on today's 777 was one of the superliners in the California paint scheme. I haven't seen Cap. Corridor/San Joaquin equipment intermingled with Surfliner equipment before. (Except for when the Surfliner cars were first delivered in 2000). I wonder if it was brought down south...

Maybe I missed this somewhere, but does anyone know when these will be delivered to CA?

So if I read that correctly, the Chargers will stay in Northern California, and the Surfliner will just get more F59PHIs?
