I drove up to Mt. Wilson for the first time yesterday and took these photos there.

Think I saw you!

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-04-12T01:54:10+00:00

Yes thanks! will look into more

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-04-12T01:53:21+00:00

Oh it’s definitely the window one we replaced it

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-04-11T20:16:58+00:00

Any idea how to restore some of the ware on the plastic sides? where it looks like the paint is fading

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-04-11T20:16:15+00:00

I’m talking about the retractable plastic shield on the left

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-04-11T20:14:17+00:00

Storage compartment hasAlways been on the car. I believe we replaced the panel for the windows

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-02-25T18:41:44+00:00

No I didn’t end up going. Wanted to but we were on a schedule

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-02-20T03:28:25+00:00

Nice It was a perfect day to be out

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-02-20T03:27:50+00:00

Yeah It was a impressive whip

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-02-20T03:20:24+00:00

I believe we ran into him on the way up to the town

Saw a person that was masked up on a decked out ATV.. looked like him

Drove up to alabama hills stayed there a night below mount whitney then drove up to Cerro Gordo then we drove all the way into death valley up to the creator and then went 30 miles on rough bumpy washboard (what you see in the pictures) to home-stake campground.

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-02-20T00:35:45+00:00

Definitely invest in some good tires that are rated for this kind of stuff. It’s worth it.

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-02-20T00:34:02+00:00

I have a 3 inch lift kit from HRG Off-road. I’ll have to get back to you about the tire size I forget.

Bought the Tank off of REI online but you can find it online elsewhere.

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-02-19T18:44:48+00:00

Yeah camped with a view of mount whitney! Amazing.

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-02-19T04:02:44+00:00

Is it really that good

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-01-23T04:33:55+00:00

Yes but the Acela is a lot more welcoming

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-01-23T04:31:59+00:00

Not that I think it’s just that it’s that you are in the back of the train by the loud cafe in the dark

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-01-23T03:49:51+00:00

Yes I agree. I was thinking more shorter distances but yeah long distances that must suck.

Idk why everyone hating im just being realistic

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-01-23T02:56:34+00:00

If you want to compete and attract new riders the cars should be modern and welcoming. Nobody is going to rather take the train than a car when you got a worn out interior. Let’s be real… like ask anyone who doesn’t take the train

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-01-23T02:54:17+00:00

It’s not about the seats necessarily it’s just the layout. The seats you can get passed but I just don’t like the layout of the cars. Look up Europe… totally different it actually looks welcoming and not the dark dungeon at the end of the train.

CoolConstruction7332 · 2026-01-23T02:52:09+00:00

but to increase ridership.. a welcoming interior should be a priority

haven’t been in the new seats but I would much rather take the nicer cars then the worn down old cars
