Cab control cars are a critical part of commuter and intercity passenger rail operations. They allow trains to quickly change directions following the train-s arrival into a terminal. Basically, these are standard passenger cars that have an operating cab at one end. In Southern California, the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner uses 11 of these cab cars for service in between San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Luis Obispo. In this video, we will take a look at the cab cars on the head end of the train. We will see scenes of northbound trains out of San Diego as well as some southbounds out of San Luis Obispo ISR: Glad Caltrans is redistributing California Cars displaced by the new Siemens Venture sets down onto the Surfliner. Should increase capacity and allow them to get rid of Amtrak Leased Superliner and Single Level Equiqment

Despite me having no affiliation with Southern California (only having been there once, which was way back in 2007, I know this entire fleet perfectly. Just by the sound of its horn, I can instantly tell which unit it is without having to read the number. I also perfectly know all their Name Crestings.
My Favorite Surfliner Cab is most definitely 6905. Who thought a Raised Letter K5LA could ever sound so great?
I noticed every Surfliner Cab appears in this video except for 6953, which is my Least Favorite Cab. It sounds awful. And of course, the ill-fated 6902 is nowhere to be seen.

Great video Mike. Hey I-ve just found out something regarding Amtrak Cascades. You said in your video a few months ago that the Series 6 Talgo sets are being replaced by the unused Series 8 Talgo sets from Wisconsin. Well apparently, I-ve just found out that only 2 of the series 6 sets are being replaced by the unused sets from Wisconsin. One of these sets is replacing the oldest series 6 set. While the other one is replacing the Mt. Adams set which was destroyed in the 2017 accident. Meanwhile, WSDOT has placed an order for 3 new Talgo sets that will replace the other 3 series 6 sets.

I really appreciate you explaining what the video is going to show. I can watch the video and not miss anything, as I would if I read the information to my husband. Thank you so much. You do a fantastic job!

Another great bit of footage, Mike. The Surfliner cabbies have the best K5LAs in SoCal, possibly the whole nation. That's a lot coming from me seeing as how I am not really impressed by K5LAs at all.

Love your videos of the Surfliner. I thought I saw one lately that told what the location was of each of the shots. You were filming the new SC-44 locomotives. Could you please tell me which video that was?

Hey mike! Do you like these surfliner cab cars or the Northern California cab cars? I like the Amtrak California ones because some have different horns! You should check jack london square sometime.

I do love me so good Surfliner action. You do such a nice job with these videos and the tone of your voice is perfect for narration. Reminds me of the old Pentrax videos I watched as a kid. 10 stars!
