Spring Railfanning!

The weather finally improved enough for me to get up to Cajon Pass, and I had a pretty good day. Here are two shots taken a minute or two apart from a new favorite location:

Two BNSF intermodals running upgrade right next to each other. Among other things, this shot shows how well ditch lights show up, and they show how much I like to see them working on a model. But wait, a minute or so later, we see this:

A UP Roseville-West Colton manifest heading downgrade in the same frame -- three trains at once! This has got to be some of the heaviest traffic density anywhere.

The scenery is starting to turn green after last summer's severe fire.

  1. The lead photo is impressive. I have a stereotypical vision of the scenery with always a golden hue. But the green gives it majestic presence.
