F59PHI 2007 rests at Diridon on a early June afternoon. At one time, F59s were common on Amtraks western corridor services, but with the sale of Amtraks 21 units to Metra, the state-owned PHIs became the last bastion of EMD units in Amtrak service in the west. F59s are also operated by Sounder in the Pacific Northwest and by Metrolink in Southern California, although the Metrolink engines are reaching the end of their careers as well.

Two trains glide into San Jose Diridon simultaneously. The train on the left is a deadhead move of Amtrak California equipment. This set of cars was parked on track 8, and is being moved to track 1 prior to boarding for a northbound run. The train pulled forward through the south end throat tracks, and moves into track 1 led by cab car 8307. The train on the right is a northbound Caltrain "100" local. This train originated at Tamien (the next station south of here), and will make a brief stop on track 3 before continuing north.
