Amtrak the Surfline Combo DVD - Pentrex

One of the most scenic stretches of railroad track in the West follows the blue Pacific coastline between Los Angeles and San Diego. Known as the Surfline, this famous route was filmed in detail by Video Rails in the mid-1990s. The resulting two videos have now been combined on one DVD to bring you all the historic sites, exquisite scenery, and railroading action you look for. Included on this DVD are:

Amtrak - The Surfline
Our journey begins at Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal and heads south to San Diego. You'll stop at each station along the Surfline route to see the unique features of these historic boarding points, including the lovely San Juan Capistrano station. Highlights of your tour feature views of the famous Carlsbad wooden trestles, interesting motive power including Amtrak's Dash 8-32 BWH, Santa Fe freight action, and the fantastic oceanfront scenery found along the Surfline! (1 hour)

Amtrak - The Surfline Cab Ride
Climb aboard a new General Electric P32-8BWH for a cab ride on Amtrak's train 579, the San Diegan, at speeds of up to 90 mph!. You'll witness many train meets and see gorgeous beach scenery along the fastest stretch of track on the West Coast. It's a fantastic ride! (1 hour)

I happen to love Amtrak Dash-8's myself- especially in that scheme. This video is full of them in addition to the F40PH's. The Surfline has since changed (some will argue for the worse and others for the better) but you can't go wrong with this video. The scenery along the beach is awesome. It is neat to see the trains squeezing between the rocky cliffs and buildings on one side of the tracks and the packed beach on the other. The Santa Fe freights observed only add to the interest, operating with older units in the blue and yellow scheme. This is one of my personal favorites- and with a combo show you get two videos for the price of one! A great video and great deal all in one.

If you love being up the cab this video is for you. 1 Full hour of cabride headend video in an 8-32BWH unit made by GE in 1991. "Pepsi-Can" paint scheme. This video has high quality picture and sound! Also if your a Nathan K5LA horn fan then you will this a lot too. The second video is all about surfline. Gives you so much general information and maybe things you never knew about this line. Even though it is now 2007, back in 1992 the line was much different and it gives you a nice view of what it used to be like.
