Trains Along the Pacific Ocean

Take a look at all the trains running along the Pacific Ocean as we travel north up the California coast from San Diego to San Francisco. We will look at just about every rail line that runs along the mighty Pacific in California. First, you will visit the famed "Surf Line" as it runs along coastal bluffs and sandy beaches between San Diego and Los Angeles. Next, travel to San Pedro where the waterfront Red Car runs along the water's edge carrying tourists. North of Los Angeles, we meet up with our next major rail line, known as the "Coast Line", which we follow along the coast between Ventura and Lompoc. After that, we take a brief stop in Santa Cruz to see the beach train before concluding our journey in San Francisco with the Powell and Hyde Street Cable Car line running up Russian Hill with views of San Francisco Bay in the background.

I would love to ride the train along the coast line.
Just seeing the beach, water, and the surf man.

So fun to watch the waves and trains. Wish I could live right next to the tracks there in Del Mar! Great video

Thank you for your patience and artistic eye. Keep up the great work.

Great video. My favorite Amtrak routes are the Coast Starlight between Los Angeles & Oakland & the Los Angeles to San Diego segment of the Pacific Surfliner route which is shared with the Coast Starlight between Los Angeles & San Luis Obispo, CA.

Very Awesome Video/Production Mike!   My Favorite part of the video was The View of The Del Mar Beach and the Ocean which I remember going there when I was on Vacation to visit my Grandparents for 18 years which is from 1992 to 2010.

Damn, 2:06 must be old. I remember that paint splatter on 6952. It was painted over a while ago.

Hey, great footage and I really like your edits too. Nice job on going "up the coast" as well.

You really just made me miss the Gaviota coast, as I sit here in Durango, Colorado with my 6th straight day of snow & cold.... arrrgh!

[Welwyn]

Wow! I've taken yearly trips to the Bay Area for the last four years, but I've never been south of San Jose. I need go to SoCal someday, some of these views are just too good to miss! I love that one with the Starlight going across the bridge by the beach :D

Super footage with stunning coastal views and locomotive variety, all well captured with some lovely sunsets. I love coastal rails and this video is spot on for me Mike. Loved the famous street cars in San Francisco. I was thinking your camcorder must have a wide exposure latitude as there are some wide swings in light conditions in the video and it handled it very well. Thanks. Ken
