The engineer on Amtrak train #769 converses with his crew shortly before this "Pacific Surfliner" would depart San Diego and begin its 240-mile journey to Goleta, skirting Californias scenic coastline much of the way. Alstom-built cab car 6901 (named "Port Hueneme" - pronounced "Why-Knee-Me") will be on the point this trip, with F59PHI 457 (wearing its special Operation Lifesaver "wrap") shoving on the rear. Wearing his Falcons jersey brought the engineers team no luck, however, as they lost 17-10 to the Houston Texans later this day. |
