The author's turn. We then visited the vending machines inside the station then went out to the Pacific Business Class line to wait to board Pacific Surfliner 775. AC walked me out to the train where we said our goodbyes, I boarded the train and took an oceanside window seat but returned outside for a pair of pictures.

One last view of the 40th Annivesary train. I returned to my seat and we departed San Diego on time as I transferred the pictures into my laptop and made the pages for this story during the trip back to Santa Ana. Upon my return home, I wrote the story as I watched NHL Hockey games.
