Union Pacific SYULV-11 |
| Description: |
Union Pacific officer's special behind BSA Commemorative unit 2010 passes through the Alhambra trench. This train began the day at Yuma, heading west on the old SP Sunset Route (Yuma Sub and Alhambra Sub) in the morning, and then passing "around the horn" moving from LATC (Shops) to East Yard on the River Sub. I managed to catch it again after this shot in Montebello, when it took to the Los Angeles & Salt Lake to Las Vegas (Los Angeles Sub, BNSF Cajon Sub, Cima Sub). |

"The Brooklyn" cuts through Saugus |
| Description: |
A slightly later than normal Brooklyn (ZBRLC 24) was kind enough to come through town at almost exactly in the middle of my morning coffee break. Only problem was how faded that front GEVO was. The train is withni the last thirty or so miles of about a 970 mile trip. |

The Oil Cans has just re-crewed and is now finally working its way through the maze of tracks and traffic of Metrolinks River Sub near downtown LA. The area to the right of the tracks is nothing but autobody shops. One of them keeps spare parts in the backyard. |

UP & BNSF race in Cajon |
| Description: |
BNSF Dash 9 and UP AC leads their trains in the same compass direction at Mormon Rocks. The BNSF train will head towards Bartsow, and possibly on to the Transcon, while the UP train is going up towards Tehachapi and the Fresno Sub, possibly on to Roseville. #5439 arrived on the UP on April 2005. UP calls CTE equipt AC4400CWs C44AC-CTEs, so to differentiate the ES44ACs (like 5439), they are called C45AC-CTE. In my experience, these are among the only units where railfans use the railroad designation, and not the manufacturer model. One UP rail has dubbed these GEVOs "Super Twinkies." |

Streeter meet |
| Description: |
Westbound stacks pass an eastbound rail train, while paralleling Dewey Avenue in the Riverside "Quiet Zone." No horns allowed. The area behind my back here is all residential, with tidy working class homes. The westbound stacker has just come off the BNSF San Bernardino Sub and is now on home rails on UP's Los Angeles Sub, about to pass "Streeter." It's lead unit is one of UP's older ES44ACs, #5520, which was delivered June 2005. SD40-2 #3731 is a tad older though, having been delivered February 1980. |

IBRLCX 02 |
| Description: |
A rare extra makes its way down the Saugus Line, passing through the Golden Valley part of Santa Clarita. IBRLCX 02 has quite an insteresting lashup, a very luck GEVO up front, one of the late model SD70Ms with a nose a little like an SD70ACe in the middle and, yes, in 2011, an SD40-2. Had a storeowner come out to ask me what I was doing when I took this shot. Told him all about being a railfan. |
