On May 15th, 1982, the Pacific Railroad Society operated a special train from Los Angeles, California, to Yuma, Arizona, and back. As the sun sets, the train makes a stop at the Amtrak station in Pomona as it returns to Los Angeles. The power for this train consists of a GE P30CH and an EMD F40PH - a fairmy rare combination!
