| When Amtrak "Pacific Surfliner" #579, heading from San Diego to Los Angeles, developed problems in Laguna Niguel, it sat until rescued by Metrolink train #609 (Oceanside to LA). Led by cab car AMTK 6953 "Point Conception," the now 12-car train is running late (two hours 33 minutes for Amtrak #579 and one hour 33 minutes for Metrolink #609) as it passes through Basta, in western Fullerton, at 6:22 pm. Power for the Amtrak train is F59PHI 452, which is coupled to BNSF AC4400CW 5621 leading on the Metrolink train, with Metrolink F59PHI 882 on the rear. |
