| On a hot, muggy August 28th, 2012, Metrolink train 640, heading from Los Angeles to Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo, has been delayed in Orange, California, due to doors that became inoperable. The train sat for 25 minutes while the crew worked on the problem, which caused two other southbounds behind it to be delayed as well (although they werent as late). The former Santa Fe station on the east side of the mainline was converted to a restaurant years ago, and is now thriving as a part of the Rubys Diner chain. The interior is nicely decorated in a railroad theme (mainly, but not exclusively, Santa Fe), including some elements copied from Los Angeles Union Station. And there is a patio for trackside dining as well. |
