I seen so much today I dont even know where to start, I seen a Derailment, a Frieghter being lead by a caboos in reverse matching speed with the Surfliner and moving rite along side it, found a News artical on the Train about Trains, The Conductors sang us a Song on in an Anouncement, teens get drunk on Train and almost get thrown off, Train Rockets to San Diego way Faster than usual, giving Passengers a scare,photgraphed San Diego's old Trolly Building, and got a look in side, Wtach The Grade Crossing at Santa Fe Depot Mess up and tie up Traffic for an hour, got to ride the last train home, a 9 Car Surfliner consisting of Horizon-Fleet Cars, in Phases 3 and 4, watched poeple get drunk on that Train and ended up having the Acohal banned from sale aboard The Train for the rest of the trip, and spotted a Re-Furbished Surfliner Coach, then Took a picture of the new San Diego Trolley, got an Amtrak Souvineer That I thought was discontinude, seen the dirtiest Frieght Train I have seen fill the Fullerton Station with a giant Dust cloud (literaly), and took one of The Coolest Time-Exsposer Shots of an Amtrak Train in Phase 3 I've ever seen,and thats just the over view, I'm resizeing all The Pictures I took for the Internet, I'll post em as soon as I finish, I went to San Diego for My Dad's BirthDay, and we realy got to see something Special!

Im pretty sure if the engineer was going way faster than usual, then either the train would've de-railed, or the train would've stopped and the engineer would no longer have a job with the corporation. Rough track can cause that illusion [Razz]

I've been riding between SD and L.A. since I was 2, I know the Usual Speed, and he wasnt going over any limits he was taking curvs faster and got us there faster, but yes, the ride was bumpy
