Original description from 2018:
A few trains from my California vacation that I caught after Oceanside in Fullerton, including an Amtrak Pacific Surfliner with an observation/lounge car and 2 BNSF freights with some Norfolk Southern power.

In my opinion, Fullerton is kind of overrated. Too many people who get in your video and talk loudly with no care of you filming, that green fence in the middle of the tracks blocks the bottom half of the trains on the other side (Notable with the baretables train), and, at the time I filmed this, I had to shoot from the south side as the sun was going to cause severe glares in the video. In my opinion, San Bernardino is a better place to railfan. Less people, just as many BNSF freights, and the mid-track fence only blocking out part of the Metrolink trains.
