AMTK 38
Title:  AMTK 38
Description:  After leaving Kankakee behind we started our jont to the Transcon. When we got to Braidwood though we noticed that the signal there was yellow for a northbound. Since mostly Amtrak trains run this line we took a look at the status map to see if any were near. It didnt show any nearby, but the signals there are absolutes so we knew that there had to be a train coming. Sure enough, almost right after it turned green a headlight popped up out of the dip and AMTK 22, the northbound Texas Eagle, came rushing by us.

Sunset and Starlight
Title:  Sunset and Starlight
Description:  The sun sets on San Jose as the northbound Coast Starlight boards passengers. Led by two of Amtraks veteran P42DCs, the train is running on time as it makes its second crew change. It was 51 years to the month that the first iteration of the Coast Starlight began service. Since then, the service and the route it travels have experienced great change, none more evident than San Jose. The tracks on the far left were once a coach/freight yard, served by Southern Pacific locals. All that is gone now, replaced with extended platforms for Caltrain and Capitol Corridor services. The only vestiges of the SP era are the tri-light signal bridge at the north end, and the cornice of the station building, emblazoned with "Southern Pacific Lines" above the front door. Even the SP-style signals wouldnt last much longer, being replaced just two months after this image was taken.

Starlight Southbound
Title:  Starlight Southbound
Description:  Making about 65 miles per hour, P42DC 38 leads the Coast Starlight south. San Jose Diridon lies about 3.5 miles behind, and ahead is the flat expanse of the southern Santa Clara Valley. The engineer will have the opportunity to open up the throttle for several miles before curves south of Gilroy will force them to slow again.
