I’m guessing it was more for passengers who got on before Sacramento. I noticed 11 made a long stop there. Part of that might have been to transfer connecting passengers to take the inland round to meet up with #2. Passengers from SLO onwards could have been accommodated by the Surfliner. Of...

Probably connections from 11 (25).
