Welcome to "Phil's Loco Photos"

A two week trip to the USA, we started by flying to San Francisco and stayed first couple of nights in Oakland. First day was on the excellent Amtrak California trains and a visit to the museum in Sacramento. We then took the “California Zephyr” all the way to Chicago where we stayed two nights. I picked up new Dash-8’s 500 and 515 during the time there. We then returned west on "Southwest Chief" to Williams for a day on the Grand Canyon Railroad with a pair of their superb FPA4 Alco’s on the front. We then continued with the next days "Southwest Chief" to Los Angeles and had a trip down the coast to San Diego and back to Los Angeles for the night. It was then north from Los Angeles on "Coast Starlight" to take us back to Oakland for a further three days in the area. We then flew to Washington and then homeward flight back home
