i grew up in glendora and chased trains there. i am glad my 2nd district still survives under new ownership. i remember trains 3 and 4 m the super chief east and west , the el cap and the super . the only train left was 3 and 4 but were re routed thru fullerton. thanks for sharing. this just hit my recs even thouh this was a month ago.
just saw this comment. As someone who is a bit too young to remember the Santa Fe days of the 2nd district I always enjoy hearing stories from when the line was whole. My channel is dedicated to above anything else, documenting what remains of that line in addition to the other things I film. Thanks for watching!
Yay! I love riding the new train to railfanning spots around SoCal, and it is great to have it. You said they "return" to Redlands. Where they once here? Keep up the good work, Colin!
yes passenger trains ran to redlands until 1938 when they were discontinued, and the tracks were pretty much unused until now except for some freight service. thanks for watching!
@@IllBeStamped no particular local, just whatever SBD yard job has work assigned on the branch, i've only eve seen it once in my 13 years of railfanning. it runs at night once every few months
So according to you Redlands is "disgusting" because they added a convenient method of transportation for the city. Good thing you left, we don't want your privileged, out of touch attitude here
the particular DMUs in service on arrow currently are diesel powered with planned Hydrogen conversion sometime in the future, they are made by Stadler, which also makes the KISS units for Caltrain
Excellent description of the lines history, can’t wait to see the premier!
Connection from san Bernardino County line to Redlands
Great idea that Arrow and Metrolink share a track at the same time.
😮😮
Excellent video Colin; one of your best!!
Cool looking train
Awesome video
Nice Video Colin
15:15 LOL the new signals are already having problems

@@PasadenaSubColin You are welcome! Would you be interested in railfanning together?
sorry for my abysmal response time, if you want to plan something out, we could on instagram if you use that
Thanks Colin. Hopefully you can show us some BNSF action on the Redlands branch too!
I sure hope so, however the BNSF local is rumored to run late at night now once every 2-3 months
What local is that?? Can you tell me a little more about it?

@@PasadenaSubColin Ok, thanks for letting me know!
Was this metrolink train used for a oceanside to san bernardino as a redlands train line?
crew training shuttle, won't happen ever again probably
Does Metrolink trains come here besides Arrow?
Metrolinks only use this train normally on weekdays, only two metrolinks a day
@@PasadenaSubColin is it like 2 roundtrips? Or 1 EB 1 WB?
Do you have to ask to film on their stations?
That's what I did, I know some station guards don't like filming
What a nightmare!! So glad I moved away from that disgusting hellhole!

The Arrow train is definitely a hydrogen-powered train, at the same time it looks too similar to what caltrain electric look like.
the particular DMUs in service on arrow currently are diesel powered with planned Hydrogen conversion sometime in the future, they are made by Stadler, which also makes the KISS units for Caltrain

No The route is San Bernardino to Redlands
If you read the description you would know that these tracks go from Redlands to San Bernardino and continue towards Los Angeles
No not the same time Metrolink is a Sat Express arrow is Metrolink to Redlands they have different schedules and not the same tracks
The Metrolink express runs on weekdays, and they use the same tracks as the arrow. Not sure where you're getting that outlandish information from
Can’t believe metrolink got flirts smh
why "smh"?
@@PasadenaSubColin not too crazy abt them.
