At long last, the new and improved Thanksgiving Friday Special schedule for the Coaster is now on trainweb. Please note that the "3" in the former address is now replaced with "1c" since it is a derivation of the weekday service schedule, I figured that I would be consistent. So, now to be consistent with that change, the new page is now viewable at http://www.trainweb.org/nationaltimetable/oceanside/sandiego1c.html. The new trip that was added fills the early afternoon gap that existed in the previous "five-train" schedule. A 12:45P Northbound Train (#639), and a 2:50P southbound train are added, closing in what would otherwise have been about a six hour gap in the schedules in the middle of the day.
There will be a special equipment turn on Wendesday night: Coaster Train #651 (21) will turn for train #636 (23) which will make the following cycle: 636-635-644-639-648-647-656-655. Train #649 (21) will make its usual turn to #632 (23) which lays over in SAN after the second southbound AM trip as usual. It makes the trips on the 632-633-640-651 cycle.
Train #655 (23) turns for #642 (24) which will become #634 (26) and return to its normal alternating cycle on Monday.
