Surfliners As Modelable Prototype

I've noticed that the Kato N Surfliners have started to reach stores. It'll be a couple weeks until my budget will let me order a set. Meanwhile, here are some photos I've taken while railfanning them over the past quarter century.

A little-noticed scenic feature is the jumpover the passenger route takes over the Alameda Corridor freight line to Los Angeles Harbor and the LA River just past the Redondo Jct engine facility.

Here is 2112, one of the newer SC-44s, in Glendale.

Here is 2109 pushing a northbound past the BNSF diesel facility in Commerce.

Train 769 coming and going in Oxnard in May 2013.

Cab car 6953 next to a Metrolink train in Glendale.
