Thanks guys, i've found out the type of thrain that the SD70MAC was leading and I have put another post about the type of cars it was hauling. I not that you said that intermodel trains never come down to San Diego but on my version, who is it to say a trial flow was started ;op

Here are some photographs from San Diego and a list of photographs taken in California.

Thanks, have you ever seen one down there ? I expect the usual loco's are C44-9W's but i wonder if any AC4400CW's ever made it down there

Cuddy,
Here is a good link on the BNSF in San Diego:
http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?page=-1&TOPIC_ID=44326&REPLY_ID=472424#472424

As I work next to the downtown SD station I would say that the daily freight is about 1/3 tank cars 1/3 cov. hoppers and 1/3 other. The daily freight usually has 5-6+ six axle engines on it and around 80-100 cars. The SD70MAC's might have also been used on the grain train (all cov. hoppers) or the autorack train (often 20-30 or so) (last year I used to see autoracks on the back end of the daily freight but haven’t this year. (There are no coal, intermodel trains down here.)

Hello from England [:)], I have seen a couple of pictures of SD70MAC's down in San Diego. I gather that they are rare in So. Cal so they must be really rare down there. I would like some information as to why they would be in San Diego and what kind of train they would have been likely to have been hauling.
