I managed to get out for the “last run” of Amtrak 145, coming in on train #1 The Sunset Limited on 2/20. (Okay, last run is being overly dramatic, but the unit has been sitting at Redondo ever since getting its pilot repaired).
First is a shot of the train winding through the tracks just south of Mission Tower.

Second is a shot of the train backing out past Terminal Tower.

Third, for the roster fans… is a classic 3/4rs roster.

That’s one down (Phase III P42). Five to go (Phase I P42, Phase II P42, Phase III F40, Phase III P40, and Phase IV P42).

Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the kind words, All.

I have to say, since I got the 40D (used even), I have been happier with the sharpness in my images. I’m using the same lens that I used on the Rebel XT, but the 40D just seems to synch with it better.
