The only true through-freights that we have left are the northbound empty autoracks, symboled AMLOAR or AMLBAR. They run about twice a week at random times. Otherwise, it's AMTK 11/14 and locals. I know that Watsonville Jct has four of them now:

LRQ31: Serves everything to the south of WJ during the day, as far as Paso Robles. Took the place of the Santa Margarita and Soledad Locals.

LRQ40: Serves everything to the north of WJ during the day, as far as Gilroy, including Hollister and Santa Cruz when needed. Took the place of the Hollister and Santa Cruz Locals.

LRQ53: "Rock Job" to Logan and San Jose, at night.

LRQ83: "Salinas Hauler" to San Jose and Newark, at night.
