Like the shots. Yes, it was a bit wet out here the past week or so. Amtrak seems to be making it all the way to San Diego again tonight pretty much to schedule, so I guess they got the ballast dumped and tamped out by Torrey Pines and elsewhere.
Can’t see the name Azusa without thinking of that old Jan and Dean song, though…one of those things that never leaves the brain, unlike a lot of other thoughts.
Every time I go to Azusa, I hear Mel Blanc in my head, on the Jack Benny Show… “Now leaving for Anaheim, Azusa, and Cucamunga on track five…” and then later, “Doesn’t anyone want to go to Anaheim, Azusa or Cucamunga?”
Hey Hey ! ! What are those first two photos, passenger trains? is that what they look like now? try getting on a passenger train in Boise Idaho, or Wyoming or Freeport Maine or, or, or, or, . . . . . … 99% of the rest of North America. How fortunate you are.

I don’t kow anythkng more about it sorry. It is kept in Van Nuys (Gemco Yard), which while not accessible to railfans, is still open enough that you see a lot of trespassers walking through there all the time. My guess is it’s been tagged so badly due to its time out in the open at Gemco in the middle of the night.
