AMTK 164 |
| Description: |
Amtrak #3 is running nearly 3 hours late - it normally crosses southern California's Cajon Pass just before sunup - which gives its passengers a look at the snowfall the accumulated overnight. The "Southwest Chief" originated in Chicago, and at this point the train is 90 miles from its final destination in Los Angeles. P42DCs 164 and 48 are pulling the eight car train. |

| Description: |
It doesn't look very snowy here, as what snow fell overnight was quickly melting (particularly on the sunny sides of the chaparral), but this 3 hour late Amtrak #3, the westbound "Southwest Chief," was giving passengers a view that they don't often get on Cajon Pass - snow! This train had just 8 cars on this day, and was approximately 100 miles from its final destination of Los Angeles. The retaining walls and trees seen behind the train are the well-known railfan "oasis" Hill 582, located at Milepost 58.2 and providing a nice spot in which to sit on a hot day, thanks to those trees. |
