I saw it going through El Monte and it was beautiful except for some guy wearing a blue 88 shirt and friend who ran out across the two Metrolink tracks onto the UP mainline to get a picture. The friend then ran right in front of the 3751.
Let all practice safe railfanning and stay off of the tracks.

Watched it leave San Bernardino this afternoon. For some reason it stopped at the foot of the flyover bridge for a couple minutes before proceeding.

It was right on time at Claremont, CA on Saturday morning. I photographed it with the restored Claremont station in the background using a wide angle lens and a shutter speed of 1/2000. I also saw it parked at the S.B. station re-dedication then again photographed it westbound at the Claremont station -- a little late due to the stop just after departure but not a problem. It was great to see it. I haven't developed the film yet.
