Union Pacific Coast Line

My favorite rail line is the Union Pacific Coast Line.  It runs from LA to San Franscisco and is divided into two subdivisions.  The Santa Barbara Subdivision extends south from San Luis Obispo to LA and the Coast Subdivision extends north from San Luis Obispo to San Francisco.  The scenery along the Coast Line is amazing.  In 1996 I began to photograph the Coast Line as much as possible.  Below are some of my favorite Coast Line pictures from 1996.
