Surfliner Cab Cars

Cab control cars are a critical part of commuter and intercity passenger rail operations. They allow trains to quickly change directions following the train’s arrival into a terminal. Basically, these are standard passenger cars that have an operating cab at one end. In Southern California, the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner uses 11 of these cab cars for service in between San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Luis Obispo. In this video, we will take a look at the cab cars on the head end of the train. We will see scenes of northbound trains out of San Diego as well as some southbounds out of San Luis Obispo.
