Amtrak meetup in Dana Point, CA (February 2013)

Some unusual stuff going on.

Single-level equipment, and one train being pushed by two engines.

Not to mention a Cascades engine in CA.

I think the single level equipment is normal. They run one Surfliner with it all the time.

F40 cabbage (unpowered control unit), not engine. Given the maintenance activities at L.A. nothing in the video is real unusual, and MrFSS is right about the single level consist.

I am not surprised by anything in this video I see Cascades engines frequently, as I do the occasional multiple engines. The stuff sure doesn't run perfectly ALL the time

The train being pushed by two locomotives...a P42 and an F59... the F59 might be the San Diego protect engine headed back to LA and rotated with another. The Cascades cabbage has been a common sight on the Surfliner lately as are the P42 and Superliner coaches.
