We've had a pretty wet year here. I'm glad you got to visit Roaring Camp! It's about five minutes from my house, and my in-laws gave me a pass, so my son and I are there about every two weeks or so. Also, you were lucky to see the Beach Train (as the locals call the Santa Cruz and Big Trees RR): it normally runs only from May to Labor Day, but what you saw was one of the few extras they put on for spring break. Let me know next time you're in the area.

There was another full length Amtrak heading the other way, I bet that one was the California Zephyr(or however you spell it). And I will try sending a few to Bergie, when I get the time. Michael, I kind of thought that it was rare, as on the website they only said they were running one run of the Redwood train each day during the summer. But, yet they ran two Beach trains, and an extra trip up into the redwoods after the one I went on. We didn't have time for everything though. Hopefully next time we can go to the Beach train, We get to CA Every two years or so. Thanks to all of the rest of you for the good words, I'm glad you liked it. I just still wi***he weather had cooperated a little better than it did. But, next time will be summer, and hopefully it will be better then.

Where did you take the Martinez bridge shots from ? The toll plaza, or were you able to walk out on the 680 bridge? And I belive the Amtrak engine was one of the P32-8Ws. The ones they used to call the pepsi cans because of there original paint job. I have pictures of the 501 on its first revenue voyage on the Coast line.

You don't have to apologize for the Union Pacific local that got away from you at Martinez, that's a good shot.

If I remember correctly the Amtrak of CA locomotive on it is an 8-32BHW.
