Trains in 2003

Hey, everyone! This is the first in what will be a month of special videos to commemorate the channel's 15 year anniversary. I started filming trains back at the very end of 2002, so 2003 was the first full year I was able to film trains. I have assembled a sort of "year in review" type video, showcasing all the trains I filmed as kind of a combined interesting look back and a nod to the origins of train videos on the channel. In 2003, I was lucky enough to film trains in a number of different locations on the West Coast including the Pacific Northwest and several different places in California. Some things may look similar to how they did back then, but there have been a number of changes over the years including equipment being retired, new paint schemes, and even some rail lines being closed entirely.

Some things to look for that can no longer be seen are:
-VIA Rail Vancouver Island "Dayliner" train
-Seattle Waterfront Trolley
-EMD Demonstrator SD60 Locomotives
-Old Amtrak schemes including Phases IV and Va and the original Amtrak California scheme
-Camp 6 Logging Museum in Tacoma
-BNSF SD9, GP30, and Dash-7 locomotives in service
-Union Pacific Dash-8 locomotive
-Coaster, Metrolink, and Amtrak Surfliner F59PHIs and F40s
-Talgo Series 6 Trains
-LA Metro P865 cars
-BNSF roadrailer train
-Southern Pacific painted SD40 locomotives

As always, if you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to share those with me below. Thanks!
