Some Coast Line from today

I spent a nice day off following the doings of the Coast Line today. I was hoping to catch a photo of the Santa Margarita Turn at Elkhorn, but heard a baretable switching around in Castroville. Since that baretable train was blocking the mainline, the Margarita had nowhere to go. Both trains cleared for stubby Amtrak #11 at Castroville and Salinas. I drove down to my favorite haunt of Metz Road to catch these three southbounds between Soledad and King City in the spring splendor. A nice day it was but chilly with only temperatures in the 50's.
