The other night (Wednesday, Oct. 23, I believe), I saw a trainset departing the Martinez, CA station eastbound, led by an Amtrak "cabbage car," followed by several single-level coaches with what looked like (in near darkness) yellow and red angular stripes. Six or seven such cars, pushed by an Amtrak California F59PH standard on the San Joaquin/Capitol Corridor service. First such cabbage car I've ever seen in this area. Anyone know what this trainset is, and why it was there?
