UP 8811 |
Description: |
UP 8811 on rails... we think... not the best opportunity for a shot, but this being only the third train weve seen in two days, its reaching comedic levels as weve been traveling along rail most of the trip. Highway speed grab shot credit to Cheryl managing to get the lead unit between the smallest break in the trees - good job. |

BNSF 5374 first of the DPU set pushing behind an eastbound mixed freight in Boron, CA (yes, _that_ famous twenty-mule Borax California) at the edges of the Mojave Desert (joshua trees everywhere) as she comes out of the dust storm and we head into it (these will be last clear through-the-window shots for the trip as our car got thoroughly sandblasted frosting the headlights, windows, and everything else over the next hour or two in repeated sand storms reducing visibility down to twenty to fifty-odd feet). |

Although this does make it easy to find where the picture was taken. |

CSX 5484 in last of the five heading up this mixed freight going eastbound - and the distance from the camera is deceptive, because I pulled the bottom of it in nearly 10% to correct for the fisheye effect as the camera was zoomed out - were just that close to the rail - so between having to crop in such a short period of time, fighting signs, heat, and me urgently saying, "Snap!" - she did a good job.) |

Wheel Sets on an asphalt transport |
Description: |
Wheel Sets on an asphalt transport... again... only now nearing the Tehachapi pass itself... you know the *iconic* _RAIL_road area... where apparently even the railroads understand the economics of the situation and are shipping via the roadway... because, Im sorry, but you cant convince me this rig is short-hauling to a non-rail served customer... way out here in the middle of nowhere, running alongside the famous Tehachapi roadbed. Not that Im a little miffed that I cant seem to catch a train in this area. |
