    223 miles in 6 minutes. That means an average speed of 2330 mph. Eat your heart out France with your very pokey TGV.

    I rode this route for my middle school trip, the train was a little bumpy and it took longer than car but you didn't really have to do anything and you could just go on your phone and watch things and buy chips and eat.

    Great fast video of my favorite Amtrak route. I travel the Pacific Surfliners between San Diego, Los Angeles & Oxnard, it beat driving on the I-5/U.S.101 parking lots where people slow down for the sake of slowing down in nice weather, no construction zones & no accidents-the deliberate & intentional slow down happens nationwide.

    • @svscared

      @mxderate 8 місяців тому +1

      Yeah its weird how there are only 2 Surfliners a day each direction. At least 2 of the 3 the trains that terminate at Goleta should be extended to SLO, and at least 2 of the 12 trains that terminate at LA should be extended to either Goleta or SLO

    • @christopherorourke6543
      @christopherorourke6543 5 років тому +1

      There have been upgrades on some of Amtrak’s routes outside the Northeast & Keystone corridors that allows for higher speeds, the FRA doesn’tand won’t allow it at all. The FRA has set up the 79 MPH maximum speed limit for all trains in 1979. It needs to be updated. The upgraded rotes can handle the speeds of 110 to 125 MPH with no problems.

    At 1:33 is that siding near Guadalupe with hand-thrown turnouts. It is a great time-waster because the train must be stopped each time a crew members must throw a switch. Let's get this anachronism fixed!
