Amtrak 167 glides into Salinas with the southbound Coast Starlight at 12:02 PM. 167 is running on time today, not always common for the Starlight. Salinas is the first stop after the crew change at San Jose. From here, busses can carry passengers west to Monterey. There is usually a 10-12 minute layover in Salinas for passengers to stretch their legs. 167 will be delayed for an additional 20 minutes here, departing at 12:35 PM. Note the Rio Grande hoppers on the right.
The southbound Coast Starlight glides into the Paso Robles station with P42 167 on the point. The train is running on former Southern Pacific rails, now owned by Union Pacific. With the rerouting of most freight traffic over the Central Valley lines via Bakersfield and Stockton, the Coast Starlight and a smttering of local freights are the only regularly scheduled train on the portion of the line between Gilroy and San Luis Obispo.
