An Amtrak Surfliner is cruising along the pacific ocean near Torrey Pines beach in California. Many surfers can be seen trying their luck with the waves on this August morning. The marine layer would get much more intense before it eventually receded back out over the ocean.
We'd spent the night in Alexandria and started early the next morning for a shot on the line towards Rasheed. However the weather proved difficult and the first shot came in shadows. A last minute decision was made to try and chase the push pull set.
We overtook and managed to run across the line Infront of the G22 at the village of Al Labbani. The shot at first didn't seem so ideal but with the Mercedes Actros parked up, palm trees and drying washing it made up for it! Here under a threatening sky G22 3861 passes with train 766 El-Mamora - Rasheed. These consists have a driving car at the far end to save the loco running round. Apparently they are built in Romania.
