Like Chris (Torino GT390) I grew up not too far from SP's Taylor Yard, although I was about ten or twelve miles north (maybe a little more). I used to see quite a few freights roll by on their way north towards Tehachapi, since all that was between my house and the tracks was a usually empty schoolyard (it's full of temporary classrooms now). The other line about two miles south headed west towards the coast, and when I saw trains on that line they would be either SP freights or Amtrak's coastal train. I vaguely recall seeing the freedom train going past in 1976, but can't remember much about it. I've moved from the area now, and am about 40 miles from the nearest tracks, except those on the models!
