I'll share what I know about the Oceanside area/ Surfline. <br /> <br />BNSF runs one very long and heavy daily manifest train from San Diego to Los angeles. It is mostly autoracks, but general manifest cars can also be found. (tank cars, boxcars) This train is unofficialy known as the "DEG0" Due to the weight, six to seven -9's can be found on the point. As for Oceanside, it is a Metrolink terminus along with a junction with a junction with the Escondido branch which runs into the hills above oceanside to the city of Escondido. A local BNSF freight , laden with covered hoppers runs up the branch several times a week. Several years ago, power would consist of patched Santa Fe GP7 rebuilds, but more recently the local power has turned to GP35's and 38's. Check out Microsoft terraserver or Google earth for a better perspective of the area! Good luck!
