I'd like to get The Vintage Steak House Happy Hour to become a regular spot for train enthusiasts
to just drop in and get together anytime, at least between 3 PM and 7 PM Monday through Friday.
There are two webcams on the roof of The Vintage Steak House where you can view the live rail action on your computer right now a
in San Juan Capistrano.
CLICK HERE
for the South Image and
CLICK HERE
for the North Image.
You can see all the rail action when sitting in the main dining room in the old freight house.
The bar/lounge only has one small window facing the tracks, but you can see out the big dining
room windows also from the table seating in the bar/lounge. If this becomes a popular place for
train enthusiasts to drop in, I'll see about puting live monitors with images from the roof
railcams as well as an ATCS monitor to track the location of all trains along the route and
when to expect the next train into the station.
If you drop in and see me there, be sure to say "Hello!" I'll be the one usually sitting at the
end of the bar wearing a fedora hat and working on my computer.
