Transit nerd posting but this is my first time in the observation car. Holy cow you get to see the ocean from this? And not sit in traffic?

Upside of taking Amtrak in SoCal is not dealing with the 5/405, downsides are it takes 3 hours to get to downtown LA and 2 hours to OC, and in OC you almost always need a car afterwards. Now if UCI would run a regular bus service to the train station it'd be simple.
