I don't know anything about the engines Amtrak uses, but as a Surfliner/San Diegan rider, I can tell you the time of the trip between San Diego and LA is virtually the same today as it was in 1986 when my mom first took me on the choo choo. Some of the trains still use the same passenger cars as the ones I first rode on.
someone make a version of this to match using Amtrak or something
