Remarks & Notes |
Alray Tunnel #1 - 30 Years Ago. Santa Fe light power (two GP30s and three GP35s) move westbound on the North Track at Alray approaching the east portal to tunnel #1, the upper tunnel. This view is looking west through the tunnel in July 1978.
BNSF installed a third main track parallel to the alignment of the lesser-grade North Track through Cajon Pass between Keenbrook and Summit which resulted in the removal of both tunnels at Alray during March 2008.
See my photo article In Search of the Super C and a "Bicentennial" for a great photo of the eastbound Super C in 1975 on the big curve just west of Summit. |
