Two freights are in the hole at Knightsen for Amtrak 265 West, a San Joaquin train out of Bakersfield. This 3-way meet represents three railroads: Amtrak, UP, and Santa Fe. UP's Pittsburg Local headed back to Stockton is first in the siding, followed by a Santa Fe eastbound. The San Joaquin is doing approximately 70-79 mph.
From one train each way in 1973 between Bakersfield and Oakland when it started up, this line as expanded to six trips daily; four to Oakland and two to Sacramento.
