Amtrak Pacific Surfliner leaving Goleta Station (GTA) service Depot
This is a video of the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner leaving its small service depot/parking space at GTA Station.
Thomas Fire captured from Amtrak train in close proximity.
Pictures of the Thomas Fire that I took up close from an Amtrak train.
These are photos and videos of the Thomas Fire, as seen by an Amtrak Train that I recorded with a smartphone camera. These aren’t amazing quality, as they come from a phone camera sensor. However, as far as I am aware, this is the only video that exists of this fire through these remote areas along the train tracks.
Take a look at my post here: http://bijanmoradi.org/isla-vista-and-ucsb-during-the-2017-thomas-fire/ to see what the smoke and ash plume looks like inside UCSB 20 miles north west.

Although it has a nice camera, I don’t recommend purchasing the Google Pixel used because of [this]. The microphone issue mentioned in that lawsuit has plagued my Pixel, and the one google sent back. I need to research a budget photography camera, including international sources like alibaba and jd.com. In the past they were they first to offer a sub $100 camera option so maybe they offer somthing similar now.
