[QUOTE]Originally posted by amtraxmaniac: [QB] They stopped wyeing the train in Bakersfield at least 4 years ago. Amtrak moved to its current station in July 2004. It was an Amshack about 1 mile uptrack before. Coming Northbound out of Bakersfield, you can still see the discoloration from the old Amtrak sign on the old shack (right hand side). When the station moved down track the extra mile or so, it became just that more impracticle and time consuming to wye the train. The wye WAS at LANDCO-which was a solid 4 or 5 miles away from the OLD station. I actually timed it once-it took the train almost 20 minutes from backing out of the station to returning back to the station loco pointing North. The round trip to the wye might take at LEAST 30 minutes now...with turnaround times on the San Joaquin only being 90 to 120 minutes on average. And that's if the train is on time. [/QB][/QUOTE]
