Railfanning Sand Canyon Avenue in Irvine on 6-19-14

On 6-19-14, I went up to the La Quinta Inn and Suites at Sand Canyon Avenue in Irvine to see some Amtrak and Metrolink Trains before they got rid of the railroad crossing. It was a fun day full of rush hour. Here is what I caught
Train 1: Metrolink 641 with cab car 664 and F59PH 870
Train 2: Amtrak 580 with F59PHI 455 and cab car 6951. The shot came unexpectedly because I was setting up my camera when it was coming.
Train 3: Metrolink 817 with cab car 679 and F59PH 851. This used to be Metrolink train 813 but they swapped the numbers around and now 813 runs early. This train was going slow because it was preparing it's meet with Metrolink train 808.
Train 4: Metrolink 808 with cab car 659 and F59PHI 880. this used to be Metrolink train 804 but they swapped the numbers around and now 804 runs early.

Train 6: Metrolink 602 with MP36PH3-C 895 and cab car 673.
Train 7: Amtrak 583 with NPCU 90208 and P42DC 156. 156 wasn't on the Surfline for a very long time. It was taken off by the time 583 got to Los Angeles.
