I am going to have a dedicated day for cool sites that you can experience on the rails. This is my first one.
Since we are on the subject of The Coast Starlight, I thought I would show off one of the gems of the journey. Note: there are many gems on this trip.
La Cuesta is just north of the San Luis Obispo Station. It brings you down, or up, according to which direction you are traveling and changes your elevation.
Since passenger rail does not go through the Techapai Loop (east of Bakersfield, CA), it is the only service that gives you this experience in California.
The photo was taken just before we entered a tunnel while on a southbound train heading to Los Angeles.
Worth it to experience, especially from the viewing car.
