The Coaster is a commuter train in San Diego County, California, that connects the communities of San Diego to Oceanside and all the communities in between. In some parts, it hugs the coast. Crumbling cliffs are becoming hazardous! At springtime, these wild flowers bloom creating a great foreground for photographers to capture the train from above. #ontheroad #ontheroadcontest
