The Santa Lucia Mountains on California's Central Coast are the backdrop as Amtrak Pacific Surfliner 799 approaches its final stop on its run from Los Angeles to San Luis Obispo. AMTK F59PHI 460 leads this train, consisting of a Heritage baggage car and four Horizon-fleet cars, with AMTK Non-Powered Control Unit (NPCU) 90208 (the former AMTK F40PH 208, converted to a baggage car with a cab) on the rear.

Stretching from San Luis Obispo to San Diego, the Surf Line has become Amtrak's second busiest route. See the Pacific Surfliner and San Diegan in action along with trains from predecessors Santa Fe and Southern Pacific.
