An early morning on the Cajon Prairie. A strange rock formation where the cuts for the BNSF and UP lines head up the hill.

A southbound UP travels through Cajon Canyon as a eastbound BNSF travels below it.

UP's new washy program seems a bit spotty at best. The inscription on the front "bigfoot" makes me wonder if he was the washer? This westbound shot taken on the curve in Apex.

World famous Hill 582. Taken in the early afternoon I was lucky to catch a westbound coming down main #1 and showing the hills memorial in the foreground.

A UP coal empty, going to Savage, UT, out of Barstow where the BNSF interchanged it to the UP.

After taking a signal indication this eastbound continues through Cajon Summit as fresh snow sits on the mountains, yes mountains in SoCal, to the north.

Somehow the sun managed to hit the front and rear section of the train between all the clouds.
