Summary

Description
English: Roger Puta located himself on the inside of the upper leg of the horseshoe curve above San Luis Obispo one day in March 1985. He shot a freight train, which I'll post and the Coast Starlight, both uphill trains.

Amtrak 292 and a sister F40PH were in charge of the Coast Starlight that day. First he caught it on the trestle on the end of the lower leg of the horseshoe a little north of San Louis Obispo. Then he squeezed off three shots after it rounded the curve and was climbing toward him. It's all up hill since before the trestle and well beyond where he was standing.

ERROR. This is a different train led by 232 not 292. Roger tricked me!
