This is another great video! I recall seeing 1518 at the Illinois Railway Museum when I volunteered there. It doesn't have the best paint on it, but it's a reliable workhorse that you can see quite a bit of throughout the year. Probably why it hasn't been repainted yet. Doesn't sit around long enough.<br><br>Regards!

I love these videos. But I have a question At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_AzCpUDhgA&t=228">3:48</a>. I believe you’re talking about the Sacramento station and it says people like to watch Amtrak and Caltrain. I am familiar with Caltrain being the peninsula rail service in the Bay Area. Is there another meaning for Caltrain?
