At about 9 A.M. this morning, Friday, June 30, 2000, the second Amtrak Surfliner trainset passed through Fullerton on its way to San Diego out of Los Angeles for the first time. This second set was attrached to the rear of the first set of Surfliner cars that has already been in operation for about a month. Together, these two sets of Surfliner cars created one long 10 car Surfliner trainset! With F59PHI locomotives at each end, the total train length was 12 cars and was quite an impressive sight as it stopped in Fullerton to pick up southbound passengers!
The second set in the rear was closed off to passengers and only the first set was open. But still, it was Surfliner Cars all the way as far as we could see in both directions out the TrainWeb office window upstairs in the Fullerton Santa Fe Depot!
