Amtrak daytrip from Grover Beach to Santa Barbara
by admin on Jul.26, 2009, under Amtrak
I had some leftover passage on an Amtrak multi-ticket that was about to expire, so I hopped on the train in Grover Beach for a day trip to Santa Barbara. Interestingly, this was the first time I’ve done a trip like this solo.
The pics from this trip include: shots from the train on the way south, the marina in Santa Barbara, various trains through SB during the day, The Brewhouse, a skateboard park, Chase Palm Park, and the trip home which included the train striking someone on the tracks.
All the pics are here: http://jf2.com/090726/

All Aboard!
The rails of a railroad track are kept shiny on the top by the regular passage of trains. Thus, "To Shiny Rails" is the battle cry of my personal effort to keep railroading activities of all kinds available to as many people as possible. It's tantamount to exclaiming "Keep those trains a rollin'!". And with any luck at all, I'll personally be on as many of those trains as possible! To shiny rails, Jamie

Luckily we had that “pro skater” at the park! Neat idea for a blog…I look forward to checking in on it.
