Starlight At Sunset
Title:  Starlight At Sunset
Description:  The northbound Coast Starlight, led by two venerale P42s, glides into San Jose Diridon right on schedule at the end of the day. The two big General Electric behemoths, each with 4,200 horsepower, have just raced their train through the Salinas Valley, making 79 MPH all the way. Amtrak 38, the lead engine, was built in late 1996.

Sunset and Starlight
Title:  Sunset and Starlight
Description:  The sun sets on San Jose as the northbound Coast Starlight boards passengers. Led by two of Amtraks veteran P42DCs, the train is running on time as it makes its second crew change. It was 51 years to the month that the first iteration of the Coast Starlight began service. Since then, the service and the route it travels have experienced great change, none more evident than San Jose. The tracks on the far left were once a coach/freight yard, served by Southern Pacific locals. All that is gone now, replaced with extended platforms for Caltrain and Capitol Corridor services. The only vestiges of the SP era are the tri-light signal bridge at the north end, and the cornice of the station building, emblazoned with "Southern Pacific Lines" above the front door. Even the SP-style signals wouldnt last much longer, being replaced just two months after this image was taken.
