Surprised to see the Amtrak engine operating long hood forward…I didn’t see any ditch lights on that end.

500 people a day? No way!

Hmmm.

Wait a minute.

I smell Indians! (In California, gambling is illegal, but Indians can do it with gusto!)

Can you imagine Kelso (in the middle of nowhere) being renamed Las Vegas West, and a 200-story Casino being built there? And, twenty round trip passenger trains a day …

PS: Great awareness video, spbed! Besides the Amtrak engine, the dome car was also running in reverse!
