Thanks, I'll finally get to ride the "Western Pacific" in August. The trick is if I ride the first train out of San Jose in the afternoon to Stockton(?) getting back is the challenge. Will I have to return on Amtrak or take a bus to BART? HELP. You can email me on this. Thanks |

If you take the 2nd train you will have a long connection to a San Joaquin from which you can connect to BART. Remember ACE uses a different station. url for San Joaquin TThttp://www.amtrak.com/servlet/BlobServer?blobcol=urldata&blobtable=MungoBlobs&blobkey=id&blobwhere=1249237330428&blobheader=application%2Fpdf&blobheadername1=Content-disposition&blobheadervalue1=attachment;filename=Amtrak_W33 my plan for summer solstice is third train & quick cab ride between stations. |

I think they were bought in two batches.Before service cutbacks, there was a two-car late morning train that arrived in San Jose around 11:30 and headed back to the Central Valley about an hour or so later. |

Metrolink #625 is one of the original cab cars the service started with back in 1992. The lack of a fireman side window is indicative of the older Bombardier bilevel cars. Altamont Commuter Express #3304 is apparently identical to the Bombardier bilevels delivered to Metrolink (and pretty much everyone else starting a commuter rail line) after 1997 with the fireman side window. |

Would these bi-level coaches you speak of, be on the right coast?Are these same coaches equipped with low level boarding? I'll bite. Pray Tell. Where are they, and who has them? |

I haven't had Pho at this place although it is a personal favorite. Usually, in the Stockton case there are 4-8 at the table so many different dishes are shared. It is a pleasant way to relax between the afternoon and evening Winterail shows. BTW, for RR pictures, Wi9nterail sets a very high standard; I recommend coming out next year. winterail.com |
