Watch in HD! BNSF outdid themselves this year, providing 11 cars on their yearly officer's special train to San Diego. In past years, there were only 4 or 5 cars on the San Diego bound train. If Santa Fe was still running passenger trains, this would probably be what the "modern day" San Diegan trains would look like! I first saw this train sitting at the Santa Fe Depot, in Downtown San Diego. Hearing that it would be leaving very soon, I raced up to Noell Street, with 5 minutes to spare. I then caught it in Sorrento, at the south end of the new south parking lot. Also included in this video, are other various trains in the Sorrento Valley area, including a private car!
