Rob, the milepost at Fullerton has that number because the mileposts are numbered from Barstow, through San Bernardino (MP 81), then over the Second District via Pasadena, through Los Angeles onto the Third District to Fullerton (MP 165), where they continue ascending down the Fourth District through San Diego to the end of the line at National City.
The SDX ran over the Third District through Riverside and Corona to Atwood, where it diverged onto the Olive District to Orange, where it entered the Fourth District to go to San Diego. It paid 144 miles each direction. There were two crews which alternated days 7 days a week. So every other day was a day off. Sometimes we had to go to the hotel in San Diego, but we flipped more often than not. We turned out onto the Olive District before we got as far as Fullerton, which is only 46 miles from San Bernardino via the Third District.
