In the Hole - Eastbound at Fullerton Jct. |
| Description: |
BNSF #729 waits "in the hole" for Amtrak Train 589 from San Diego to cross over the mains up a head at Fullerton Junction. Train 598 will eventually pull up to the platform on the empty track in the foreground while #729 will lead an Eastbound stack train through the junction and on to Barstow California, once the Amtrak train clears the cross overs. |

Into the Mojave Sunset at East Goffs |
| Description: |
We chased this stack train with Warbonnet No. 750 leading from the Arizona border and finally caught up to it the first time at Klinefelter. The chase continued east through West Ibis, Bannock and finally to East Goffs where we lost the light as the sun went down. You just dont see many Dash-9 warbonnets in the Los Angeles basin anymore, so catching this one was pretty special. |

Remember the Santa Fe |
| Description: |
We chased this westbound warbonnet from Java all the way to West Goffs where we lost the light. I just love this paint scheme and it is getting harder to find in the Los Angeles basin. |

Mile 57 on the Cajon Subdivision |
| Description: |
As Autumn comes to the desert, the shadows are getting longer and the background is greening up slightly and the Yellow Rabbit Brush blooms after the intense heat of the Summer months. Eventually this scene will be covered in snow on occasion and we will once again be able to capture images in the pass with the snowy mountains in the background. |

Passing Trains and the Deep Shadows of a Cajon Winter |
| Description: |
A BNSF stack train heads up the hill while a manifest train heads down (upper left hand corner). What I find interesting about this shot is that nothing came by on all four tracks for over an hour, so I decided to climb a small hill that I have not been on top of before to see what I could see. As I was part way up the hill, the Westbound train approached, then as I was hiking though the brush (there are no trails here) I heard the rumbling of the Eastbounder on the other side of the rise and sprinted the rest of the way up the hill. So this, and the crappy images of the Westbound taken into the sun are all I have to show for my impatience. I did however score some nice shots of a computer keyboard and some 12 gauge shotgun shells that I found on top of the hill. Taken near M.P. 57.2 on BNSFs Cajon Subdivision in the Cajon Pass, San Bernardino County California. |

While Wilma Rides up Front, FRED Takes up the Rear |
| Description: |
Known as a Flashing Rear - End Device (FRED) or a End-Of-Train device (EOT) the unit can be either a simple tail light or actually transmit real time telemetry regarding the operation of the train to the Head-of-Train Device (HTD) also known as a Wilma. Here, FRED takes a ride on a Westbound BNSF stack train lead by #5050 as it goes over the precipice at Summit and descends into the Los Angeles basin. |
