Amtrak's "Southwest Chief" flies through the rolling cornfields of Illinois on it's way west.

With units 85 and 94. A rare Amtrak sighting on Cajon pass, this train was delayed by bad weather in the midwest.

A morning 1 inch snowfall blankets the Victorville area. The lead of train 3 has just passed the bridge over the "natural crossover" near the area known as Frost on the BNSF transcon.
