During my brief stay in Northern California, I visited a location that has been on my "railfan bucket list" for quite a while... Jack London Square in Oakland, California. Here in Jack London Square, the tracks run down the center of the street negotiating several grade crossings. If you are into horns, as I am, this is the location to visit! It's also pretty neat to see the trains running right down the middle of the street!
Amtrak Capitol Corridors, San Joaquins, and the Coast Starlight are featured in the video... filmed on two separate mornings in August 2016.
Train #1 - A San Joaquin departs Oakland led by Cabcar #8311, Nice K5LA!
Train #2 - A San Joaquin arrives into Oakland led by F59PHI #2015.
Train #3 - Cabcar #8312, with a fouled K5LA horn, leads a Capitol Corridor.
Train #4 - P42DC #176 leads a Capitol Corridor train into Oakland.
Train #5 - San Joaquin train with F59PHI #2005 leading with a nice horn!
Train #6 - Cabcar #8309 with another good K5LA horn, heads out of the Square.
Train #7 - San Joaquin departs Oakland Jack London with Cabcar #6961 leading. Nice K5LA on this one too!
Train #8 - Amtrak Coast Starlight #11 slowly rolls down the street, running 2 hours late. P42DC #129 leads, rocking a smooth 3rd Gen K5LA horn! All quill, but solid tune!
Train #9 - Capitol Corridor passes by with F59PHI #2007 on point.
Train #10 - Cabcar #8308 leads a Capitol Corridor out of Oakland.
Train #11 - A San Joaquin arrives into Oakland with P42DC #76 leading. Solid K5LA!
Thanks for Watching!

I was there back in august ( in 2019) and seeing the trains go into cab car mode is cool
yea good video catching these cordoor train and the coast starlight
Great stuff! Thanks!
129 is now on the east coast and I am happy to say that it still has the same horn
Very well made and enjoyable video. I forgot the street running in that area. I live in Brisbane Australia, which goes a way, to explain that!
John Coyle We stayed at the hotel where the car is pulling in at the 0:26 mark last weekend. We were here for the first California Rugby League game between SF Savage vs LA Mongrel. Our State of Origin. I hung out with a lot of Queenslanders. Game was amazing.
Awesome Video
Nice video!
Going to see 3751 over Antelope Valley next week?
So weird hearing California Cars with E-Bells, since I’m from SoCal.
Yea, some 8300 series cab cars have E-Bells, none of the 6900 series cabs have E-Bells
The Starlight running late.
Nothing new here.

Great video! Jack London Square is really amazing ain't it? Btw, when that Coast Starlight passed through, it had the same private cars on when I went to L.A!
Thanks man! Yea I would love to come back here one day!
@@AmtrakCal462 8308 sounds good as well, the only California Cabcars that do not have the most pleasant of K5LAs, are CDTX #s 8312 and 8314. 8312s K5LA has had a clogged # 2 bell since the 90s, whilst 8314s K5LA has blown out of tune since late 2010 because of the 3A bell blowing under pressure ever since. However 8313 is personally my favorite Cabcar and she has a phenomenal sounding K5LA.
Who do those private cars at the 10:35 mark belong to?
Kudamon 2006 - They are marked “American Railway Explorer.” Look it up.
I live in the area in Oakland CA
Awesome catches! That's on my list as well! See any freight trains?
yes Union Pacific Runs thru there
Oh, yeah. I knew that. I was asking if he saw any on his visit. But thanks for the reply :D
Trains N' Stuff From what I've heard, up to 5 UP's go through there per day, I caught 2 UP's there on my bay area trip last year.
Oh, cool!
What about the P42DCS
TRAIN 9: FREAKING 2007, 200TRASH LEADS TRASH RAILWAYS TO TRASH AVENUE!
@@natesmainlinevids Eh, Ignore him. He always does this in other videos that feature locomotives he hates (2007 and 2104).
And so do other foamers
Sorry that the NorCal railfan’s don’t like the horrendous horn’s on 2007 and 2104.
Nice video!
