  • All filmed on May 5th, 2024. The Coast Starlight 11 had to take off the lead engine ALC-42 #314 at the nearest switch south of the SLO Station. 314 then reversed by itself back into the station rescuing the broken down SC-44 Charger #2121 on the Pacific Surfliner. The coupling between the engines took a little a while and then there was another 2+ hour delay. Finally they pulled out of the yard and got back on the main line running about 3 hours late. This was a great surprise seeing both Charges together for the first time! Enjoy the video!
    Thanks for Watching!

    Oh that's a first! Now I'm just ready to see the ALC-42's run under their own power for the California sponsored Amtrak services.
