$24.95
In stock
DVD. Questar. 112 Minutes. The Surfline The Surfline is a whistle-stop tour of the sun-drenched Southern California coast that begins in Los Angeles and winds its way down to San Diego. Along the way, its tracks follow one of the most spectacular and scenic stretches in all of railroading. The 2 ? hour run carries thousands of daily passengers from Los Angeles' Union Station, past the oldest Santa Fe station built in the 1870's in Carlsbad. It stops along the way at picturesque stations and depots in Fullerton, Santa Ana and San Juan Capistrano, the legendary "home of the Swallows." Santa Fe freight train activity is also documented, as well as Carlsbad's famous wooden trestles. A special railroader's treat is provided in the form of rare 90 mph cab rides in Amtrak's newest Dash 8-32 PWH and F-40 locomotives racing along the California Coast. From its palm-lined crossings, to the classic Mission-style station houses it stops at along the way, the Surf line breathes new life into the saying that "getting there is half the fun." California Western Redwood forests, the Pacific coastline, the Sierra Nevada Range, and infamous Donner's Pass - this is a once-in-a-lifetime whistle stop tour of the California Western Railroad. Take a short-line railroad excursion through the rugged coastal mountain range of northern California. Ride in the cab and tender of restored steam engine through stands of the fabled redwood. Keep a sharp eye out from a high-rail vehicle running ahead of diesel trains, classic Skunk railcars, and a steam powered Skunk passenger train. This is one thrilling run down rail beds where history was made - and where it still lives on - thanks to the careful and faithful restoration and maintenance of the California Western.
