Recorded October 31, 2022.
On Halloween day, I've decided to go out to take a short drive in Orange, CA. I wanted it to film this crossing since it has received a change since I've last been here. After 10 minutes I've arrived, I saw that La Veta Ave crossing activated from the distance, and got ready to film. I actually didn't know that another Metrolink was gonna come through, which was the 1st one. Lately, I've been catching two trains at once, lol.

@@CoastalOCRailfan No problem

[@RXMattCARailfan]

seems like the WCH bells die faster now.

Nice video!

[@CoastalOCRailfan]

Thanks!

[@TheRailfan360]

Great video! Fitting that the replacement was a Type 4, since that one's not too far off from the Type 2.

[@CoastalOCRailfan]

Thanks! Yeah.

I remember when X2000R recorded Metrolink Trains on the Olive Sub back in 2007/2008.
