It was unusually clear that day and I was able to look back from the rear platform. We stopped at one point on a curve wrapping around the ocean. I was able to look back a few miles using a pair of binoculars. No train in sight and the closest opposing ABS signal remained yellow the entire time we remained stopped. A following train would have caught up pretty quickly.

I asked some SP friends in SLO and their comment was yeah, isn't that weird? Apparently it was a normal phenomenon back then.
