Remarks & Notes |
A downhill or west bound Union Pacific double-stack is on Main 2 in the "S" curve just after Hill 582 and just before the former location for tunnel #1. For this picture I am standing at the edge of the open flat dirt area that was made with the construction of the third main in Cajon Pass. When the crews daylighted the tunnels here they also removed almost all of the small mountains in between the Palmdale Cutoff and the BNSF mains 1 and 2 making pictures like this one easy to achieve. This is now a fantastic location for pictures of west bound trains in the late afternoons in summer. When you go there, enjoy. |
