Remarks & Notes 
It’s a “Twofer”!

A double-length Amtrak Pacific Surfliner (train #573), consisting of a six car train set, an F59PHI (#455), six more cars, and another F59PHI (#453). Due to a rather severe problem on the line between San Juan Capistrano and Oceanside, trains were being annulled or delayed most of the day on April 15, 2017. Events then snowballed, causing a real plethora of problems for Amtrak and Metrolink on this busy line. Surfliner #573 is ferrying a complete train set back to Los Angeles as it hustles through Commerce, about nine miles from it final stop at L.A.’s Union Station.
