Yesterday's detouring Amtrak #3 passed me in Newhall about 9:51a and made it to LA around 11:00am. Fullerton & SB passengers were treated to an across the platform train change to Amtrak #572, the low level set, now with the Veterans NPCU #90208.
Riverside & San Bernardino passengers went to the lobby and were later walked out to their proper Metrolink trains by Amtrak people.
Pointless arrow unit (P42) went north on #777.
Trains are backed up eastbound. Say Empty ethanol at Fullerton. Eastbound stack at Buena Park & one at Norwalk/SF Springs. Usually WB are in those spots holding for a Hobart or harbor track.
