49 years ago today...the launch of Apollo 11 and the trip to the moon

Yeah, I've seen the launch complexes during an AMTRAK round trip to Seattle a few years ago.
Now wouldn't that be an experience for AMTRAK passengers if (I know it's impossible) someone inadvertently hit the 'LAUNCH' button while the train was passing by?

Sitting on a siding just south of Point Concepcion during a launch might be an experience too :thumbsup: The south bound Surfliner hits Surf Beach, where the Great White Sharks eat a couple surfers in October in even numbered years, about 7:15 AM if I remember right. That's usually right around their launch windows. Surf Beach station is just over one little hill from SLC3. They probably delay the train in Guadalupe in that instance. Nutz!
