I got to see my first F59PHIs when I was passing by on the Empire Builder in Chicago. *sigh* if only they were still around back when I travelled the Surfliner in 2021.

Awesome video Mike. I remember the days when they used the Amfleet, Horizon and NPCUs on the Surfline, paired with a Genesis, Surfliner F59 before retirement, and a Surfliner Charger. And sometimes they would have 2 engines on both ends with a baggage car. I definitely miss those days but thankfully single levels are making a return on the Surfline since Amtrak California sent 6 Comets cars and 2 NPCUs, 90215 and 90225 down to Southern California. I can’t wait for the Comets, 90215, and 90225 to enter service sometime in July. This will mark the return of single level sets on the Surfline ever since 2020.

Nice video on the Pacific Surfliner singular level trains. Rewinding to the time I was at the Surf Line back in 2021, I may have or not memorized if I have sawn a singular leveled Pacific Surfliner train. I wish to go back to the Surf Line again and see when there are PS trains with singular leveled coaches.

Mixing some combination of Siemens Charger, P42, GE Dash 8-32BWH,, Amfleet and Horizon coaches, a Viewliner baggage car, private car or cars, and an NPCU on one train shows there is a prototype for anything.

I happened to end up on one of the amfleet services down to San Diego. We were confused if it was our train because obviously its different cosches.

4:58 Is it just me, or does bro look jealous cuz the NPCU is leading 💀😂
