Vandenberg Harbor

by on Nov.13, 2014, under Amtrak

Many times I’ve pointed from the train to the “Vandenberg Harbor” and told fellow travelers that rocket segments come in by boat now and then. But I’ve never actually seen it happen before. Well, here we go! I have this vague recollection of helping get funds to dredge that harbor in a previous life. See the train go by in the background (left) at the 4:15 mark (or so). See a fast-motion video of a ship arriving, unloading rocket segments, and leaving – click here (from the Lompoc Record).
