Two Amtrak Cascades Talgo Series VI trainsets’ final resting place before scrapping is Coast Rail Services in Anaheim, Calif., as seen on March 6, 2021. The distinctive passive-tilt equipment, owned by Washington, was removed from service at the end of June 2020, along with two trainsets owned by Amtrak. The Amtrak Series VI trainsets were deadheaded to the company’s Beech Grove Heavy Maintenance Facility last year. Washington’s Talgos moved to Los Angeles in a special from Seattle earlier this month [see “In an apparent last run, Cascades Talgo equipment arrives in California,” Trains News Wire, March 2, 2021]. — Bob Johnston
