NCTD San Diego Coaster Train Ride: Oceanside to San Diego, California

Hey, everyone! In this week's video, we're going to take a ride aboard San Diego's Coaster commuter train from Oceanside to San Diego and return. This is a departure from most of the content I post on the channel, as it is one of the few videos I've uploaded to primarily feature a train ride, accompanied with some pass by shots from the outside of the train. On the southward journey, I point out some of the more significant locations along the route including all station stops. Following a look around the downtown San Diego Santa Fe Depot, we hop back on board the train for the return trip to Oceanside with views of the Pacific Ocean along the way. I made this trip in late April of 2022. Our goal was to ride one more time behind one of the Coaster F59PHI locomotives before their retirement in 2023. We were lucky enough to find one of the F59s in service for our trip to San Diego.

Train Consist Info:
F59PHI 3001 (EMD, 2001)
Coach 2502 (Bombardier, 2002)
Coach 2406 (Bombardier, 1997)
