6:10am. The train leaves on time and we slowly glide through the sleeping city. It is still dark outside and the forecasted rain is still a no-show. Mom and I are on the upper level so we can have an unobstructed view of the ocean once the sun rises. The train is comfortable and quiet and the ride is very smooth.
6:30am. Darkness gives way to daylight.
6:39am. We reached the seashore. Still foggy with big waves. It is really cool to be so close to the ocean. Lots of surfers are already riding the cold waves.
6:41am. Del Mar racetracks. It is so nice to see parts that you don't see or just zip through when you are driving.
6:42am. Solana Beach. We pick up some passengers and leave 2 minutes later.
The sky is clearing up and I hope that the rain and thunder that we were expecting have gone somewhere else.
07:01am. Oceanside station. Not much to see for the past 10 minutes as we go through neighborhoods. It looks like it will be a nice day though with blue sky and sunshine.
7:07am. We go through Camp Pendleton and get by the ocean again.
7:35am. San Juan Capistrano station. Slowly going inland now.
7:52am. Irvine station. Just been going through industrial areas and suburbs.
8:04am. We reached the beautiful Santa Ana station.
8:12am. Anaheim station. Spectacular views of the snow capped mountains as we leave the station.
8:21am. Fullerton station. Still nothing of interest to mention. Hundreds of storage places, business offices etc....
8:50am. Los Angeles Union station. Right on time. We have to change train here. To be continued....
Santa Fe Depot Station, San Diego
Los Angeles Union Station
