Surfliner 763 had a red signal was we approached Seacliff. We received a green but had to run the rest of the way to Santa Barbara at 20 MPH. We arrived there at about 12:50. 763 was terminated there and a fueling truck refueled it at Santa Barbara. 784 was loaded and we waited for the Coast Starlight to arrive which ran from Ventura to Santa Barbara at 20 mph arriving at 1:55 PM. We ran home on 784 on time back to LAX and then Santa Ana.

Today, I was at USC and went to eat at TRAXX at union station, and no one there was "alarmed" but Paso Robles doesnt have too many trains daily, so it shouldnt have been to big hopefully.

It was felt here in Redondo Beach, 200 miles south. As for the quake, what usually happens is for any quake at 4.0 or larger, they stop rail traffic in the immediate area and inspect the tracks before allowing trains to continue.

Sorry about that, for some reson they think the word "*** " is not suitable for this site, if the word above gets edited out, it spells -O-G as in a pet.
