Once in San Berdoo, I headed to the
Mt. Vernon overpass of the railroad
tracks to join about 120 other interested onlookers. My first
order of
business was to find someone with a scanner and inquire the whereabouts
of the 3751. The first answer was a rude remark that it was
"somewhere
over that way" with a point
of the arm to the west. The serious answer was the train was
about 7 to 9 miles west of San Berdoo. Word was the train
requested to stop at Rialto to discharge a
passenger. One other question of timeliness of the arrival of the
3751 train now was would it arrive before the Metrolink 359 train was
to depart San Bernardino? As it turned out, the 359 departed on
time at 11:05 AM, which meant a meet with 3751 slightly west of the
Rialto Metrolink Station. This only meant a slght delay, as
Rialto
is close to San Bernardino.
