Amtrak Coast Starlight Passenger Train 11 Centerville Fremont, CA AMTK 314 With Comet Cars, Cabbages

Running behind schedule after a stop in Oakland to add equipment, Amtrak’s Coast Starlight Train #11 passes through Fremont’s Centerville district on the Niles Subdivision as it heads for its next station stop in San Jose. 6 Comet cars, and 2 Cabbages were tacked on to the rear of the train, deadheading to Southern California to be used on the Pacific Surfliner route during the X Games in Ventura. 06-27-2024

I thought it was going to take the Coast Subdivision and skip Fremont Centerville, but seems you were lucky enough to get it at this station. Great video, Jordan!

Thanks! I was tracking its routing to see which way it would go. Once I saw it on the Niles I made a beeline for Centerville, and made it just in time!

Not that I’m aware of. They’ve been putting this move off for a while now, and finally they made it happen today.
