Two Metrolink trains connected together, at the Oceanside Transit Center. On September 20 RailPAC’s Noel Braymer was on board. “Everything was normal until we left the City of Commerce station on Metrolink #604 after leaving LAUS on time at 4:30 PM on Friday September 20, 2013. We barely cleared the station around 4:45 PM when we came to a halt.” See his full trip report on this website. (Photo by Noel Braymer)

Photographer Friedman arrived on the train at Fullerton in order to transfer to this bus, #4968, to Palm Springs. The bus “thankfully stops right in the middle of downtown Palm Springs, not at the train station,” twice daily, but riders must purchase a train ticket to ride the bus. (Alek Friedman photo)

Back in Fullerton at the end of the trip, this BNSF freight train lumbers through the station. Friedman reports the bus ridership was low eastbound. Westbound it was quite high; “by the time we picked up a half dozen passengers in Riverside nearly all rows were filled on the very fast very comfortable bus ride.”
