    Finally, a video there we can see all of the Metrolink Valley sub and UP Mojave sub improvements from recent years. Thank you Amtrak, Metrolink and UP for making it all possible :-). I'm almost tempted to edit and subtitle all points of 'interest' which would of course take days (hint, hint). A good companion to the drone videos of this event on the Tehachapi webcam site.
    Bravo, bravo!

    Union Pacific really needs to allow Amtrak to run daily service along the Tehachapi route.

      Having to take a bus to get from Central Valley to Southern California is extremely frustrating I’d be willing to pay more if they did allow Amtrak to run service through there

    I railfanned the detoured Amtraks on all those days except the 15th! The 14th my friend @CentralValley Railfan8311 and I went out to the Pepper Dr crossing which is around the 3:42:00 mark. The other days I went to Olive Dr which is just north of the Bakersfield yard and is not in this video.

      Track work on Metrolink's Ventura County Line (which it shares with Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner) between Union Station and Chatsworth, so no Amtrak/Metrolink service.

      If you look at 8:30, you'll see two tracks curving off. That's near the Burbank Airport and that is the beginning of the Ventura Line/Coast Branch. Usually, the Starlate would have taken those tracks.

      @@repulser93 Paul is probably referring to how Amtrak is doing now, because with Amtrak's recent CEOs they have been trying to make Amtrak profitable so that the government doesn't have to fund them. Due to these attempts the CEOs have been slowly turning Amtrak into a Airline on rails. And someday if Congress approves they might end long distance train travel all together because Amtrak has not been making very much a profit off of long distance trains. If anyone looks at this and sees if I might have got some detail wrong your welcome to correct I don't mind.
