This footage may be 13 years old but it is timeless. I work out there once a month and was there today, great timing for the release of the video. Thank you
This is so beautiful, I never seen desert trains before.. I occasionally see Bnsf come through Cleveland here, but I know they don't own track in Ohio. Usually behind a Norfolk southern... I get really excited to see them on the lakeshore lines or in Berea occasionally..😊😊
I believe that if you are delivering goods and services you are a real trucker. You may not have the years that some have, you are still a real trucker. Keep on keeping on we love your videos!!❤
Great video and your commentary is spot on - I was last there in July 2022 visiting from Sydney, Aus. LAX is our gateway into the US, so a 3 day stopover is an essential part of each trip to visit family in MI. Looping through Cajon and Tehachipi, there's nowhere better to see big trains in the mountains, will be back again asap. Thanks for the perfect cinematograghy, we can only guess at the investment of time to get those shots.
Two Railroads 4 tracks one mountain pass. This line connects Los Angeles to all the major routes in California and the US. From the junction at San Bernardino to Barstow this line sees everything UP and BNSF has to get the freight from Long Beach and Los Angeles to our nation. Welcome to Cajon Pass BNSF's and UP's legendary route over the San Gabriel Mountains. Every railfan knows Cajon because there is always a train. Famous locations are Keenbrook Junction where the UP line becomes the Colton Sub and heads to Colton itself south of this location the Cajon Sub ends and the San Bernardino Terminal Sub begins, Hill 582, Sullivan's Gulch, Silverwood Junction where the UP line becomes the Mojave Sub and BNSF tracks become the Barstow Sub, see the crossovers at Frost outside of Victorville, and the highlight of the trip BNSF's and UP's major terminal in the Mojave Desert Barstow Yard. Welcome to Cajon Pass!
nice to see a video of the Metrolink f59ph in normal service. their now used for yard switching and as a reserve in case one of the t4 locomotives gets taken out of service.
Wish you could video layout we built in Morgan Hill,Calif a H-O scale 20x16 SF Cajon pass railroad,built off John Armstrong model railroad track plans,with large San Gabriel Mountains and Sullivan’s Curve custom Cut,Steam with 2-10-2 Locomotives up to Zebra Stripe Diesel and Some Blue and Yellow Santa Fe,2Video watch first time, You do Beautiful and Awesome work and enjoy narration,Great to put pictures with a Story. Full Steam Ahead Dan and Armando Vargas SF Bay Area.
Has enyone ever seen a BNSF locomotive that didn't look like it just came out of the paint shop? UP's locomotives are mostly dirty and look like they at least need a wash.
Right this minute I’m watching trains through Cajon Pass , and I honestly have to say that for the amount of money I spent on TWS3 Cajon Pass in the simulator dose not even come close to what I’m watching right now details missing ( rock and cliff formations, bush ground terrain is a dark and light green with patches of tan ground color intermixed, dove tail doesn’t put enough effort into their work for the amount of money priced for these simulations I will give them credit for TWS2 SandPatch Grade now that’s dead on they should remake Cajon Pass as a remastered version improved “and release it on PlayStation store as a free download add on to TWS 3,4,5
Jeepers I haven't had boots on the ground at Walker since 1986😮 back then it was called Walker Ranch named after the Walker family homesteading up there 😊
At 22:26, that reminded me of CP having permission rights, on CN's branchlines, in order to get access onto their branches, in out and around Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. All is torn up and has so much history.
You missed commenting on at least 3 things. 1; Swarthout Canyon is the San Andreas Fault; 2: The Pacific Crest Trail crosses under/over the tracks at Mormon Rocks; 3: Cajon summit was seriously considered as a place to use nuclear bombs to blast off some of the climb.
After watching a documentary explaining the conflict between freight and passenger trains regarding business, economics, policy and infrastructure, the glamour and beauty of this video's presentation is diminished.
