Remarks & Notes

On its inaugural run, Amtrak's San Joaquin has E9A No. 417 and an ex-SP FP7 for power. No. 417 is ex-UP No. 912. There's a big crowd on hand at the ex-Santa Fe depot to see this significant event for transportation in the Central Valley. It had been approximately three years since the last regularly scheduled passenger train ran from Stockton to Bakersfield.
