CN 2223 - Tolono IL - 09/27/17
Title:  CN 2223 - Tolono IL - 09/27/17
Description:  The Illinois Central was known as "The Mainline of Mid-America," but now this trackage is a part of Canadian National. So ... Is the Canadian National now "The Mainline of Mid-America?" Rolling through Tolono, Illinois, is a northbound CN freight lead by ES44DC 2223, Dash 8-40CM 2447 and GP40-2L 9402. More colorful than ICs black scheme, but ICs old orange and white scheme was even more colorful.

CSXT 5414 - Evansville IN - 10/01/17
Title:  CSXT 5414 - Evansville IN - 10/01/17
Description:  With the growing season over, the crops that are grown in the flood plain in southern Evansville, Indiana, have been plowed under in preparation for next summer's harvest. The CSX mainline is built upon a long stretch of trestles in order to keep the railroad running whenever the Ohio floods its banks - so there is a prototype for the Atlas trestle set! A southbound CSX intermodal train heads for the bridge across the Ohio River (and on into Kentucky) on October 1, 2017. CSX ES44DC 5414, ES44AC 3024 and ES44DC 5298 are leading this train on a bright, sunny morning.

BNSF 7200 - Rocket Site, CA - 3/12/10
Title:  BNSF 7200 - Rocket Site, CA - 3/12/10
Description:  Along the northern edge of Edwards Air Force Base, in Californias Mojave Desert, runs the former Santa Fe line that connects Richmond, in the Bay Area, with Barstow and points east. At milepost 788.3 is a spot called Rocket Site and it is here, with the Tehachapi Mountains as a backdrop, that we see train G-PASBAR4-05 (Grain - Pasco, WA, to Barstow, CA) hustling east behind a trio of ES44DC diesels, and a single Dash 9-44CW (with another pair of Dash 9s shoving on the rear). BNSF 7200 on the point wears the orange and black scheme introduced in 2005.

BNSF 5200 - Mormon Rocks, Cajon Pass, CA - 11/13/10
Title:  BNSF 5200 - Mormon Rocks, Cajon Pass, CA - 11/13/10
Description:  Cajon Pass famed "Mormon Rocks" are a series of cemented sandstone beds much more resistant to erosion than the surrounding gravel and silt sands, giving them a pockmarked appearance. Officially called the Rock Candy Mountains, the strange rock formations are one of the youngest and most active geological regions in North America. Formed by the overlapping of the Baja Plate and the North American Plate, the Mormon Rocks (so nicknamed because this was the preferred route of Amasa Lymand and Charles Rich, who led a band of Mormon settlers from Salt Lake City across the Mojave Desert in 1851) are a visible indicator of the San Andreas Fault (where the two aforementioned tectonic plates collide). BNSF Railway ethanol train G-RAVWAT7-06A (Ravenna NE to Watson CA), led by Dash 9-44CW 5200, threads its way through "the Rocks" on November 13, 2010.

BNSF 7209
Title:  BNSF 7209
Description:  On February 9th, 2013, BNSF Railway train Z-SBDALT9-09A, a 6526' (without locomotives, 6891' with them), 4275 ton intermodal train heading from San Bernardino CA to Alliance TX, threads its way around the curves as it grinds its way up southern California's Cajon Pass. Just beyond this crossing of Cajon Creek is the site of the old Cajon station, where the three BNSF mainlines split, with two of them taking a slightly more circuitous route up the hill. A quartet of modern GE power is on the headend: ES44DC 7209, ES44C4 6833, Dash 9-44CW 5072 and ES44DC 7445. The elevation here is just under 3000', and there is a light dusting of snow from the previous night's storm.

BNSF 7219 - Fullerton, CA - 3/28/11
Title:  BNSF 7219 - Fullerton, CA - 3/28/11
Description:  It can be a madhouse on weekday afternoons in Fullerton, California, as there are nineteen passenger train movements (Amtrak and Metrolink) between 2:59 and 7:04 PM. And, of course, the BNSF Railway is trying to move freight among all these trains, so the BNSFs dispatchers are kept very busy. On the afternoon of Monday, March 28th, 2011, BNSF train Z-WSPLAC1-26A (behind GEs 7219, 7838, 5070 and 7576) blasts through the station on the middle main, heading to Los Angeles from Willow Springs, Illinois.

BNSF 7241
Title:  BNSF 7241
Description:  BNSF Railway train Z-LACNYC9-11 passes through the busy intersection of Rosecrans and Marquardt in Santa Fe Springs, California. This eastbound train is a Priority UPS-LTL Intermodal train, originating in Los Angeles CA and destined for New York NY. An impressive lash-up of locomotives is powering this train: BNSF ES44DC 7241, BNSF Dash 9-44CW 4528, Norfolk Southern Dash 9-44CW 9702, BNSF ES44DC 7831 and BNSF ES44C4 6888. This grade crossing is one of the most dangerous in the United States because it bisects a busy highway intersection, with a fifth highway joining Rosecrans just beside the crossing - making it a five-way intersection with several trains per hour passing through.

Description:  Progress comes to Fullerton Junction, and the old, classic Santa Fe-style cantilever signals have given way to a new cantilever that doesnt have quite the same "railroadiness". BNSF Railway train Z-ATGLAC1-18D rounds the curve and is about to pass the Amtrak station (the old Santa Fe Surf Line to San Diego is in the foreground).

BNSF 6662
Title:  BNSF 6662

At that point, the train was running 1 hour 11 minutes ahead of schedule! And there it sat until late on December 25th, after BNSF ES44C4 7113 was added to the consist (now BNSF 7113, BNSF 6893, EMDX 7219, BNSF 7304//BNSF 9289, BNSF 3959, BNSF 9023). But the new crew "died" at Santa Fe Springs, not too far from its final destination, at 2:15 am on December 26, at which point the train was now only 65 hours 21 minutes late! At the time of this photo, the poor train was over 71 hours late, with no sign of a fresh crew. (Santa Fe Springs, California – December 26, 2020)

Description:  Stretching out for a mile, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus (red unit) train has been steadily climbing the grade out of Bakersfield for 12 miles on its approach to the crossing of the Tehachapi Mountains. Seen here at Sandcut, the 59-car train (34 coaches, 18 flats, 4 stock cars, 2 COFC and 1 bi-level auto rack) weighs 4290 tons and, without power, is 5235 feet in length. Power for the train (symboled as BNSF train U-FRSSDG1-12A) consists of BNSF ES44DCs 7315, 7646 and 7216, which will lift the train up to the 4000’ summit at the town of Tehachapi, then on to Barstow, across Cajon Pass and down the Pacific Coast to San Diego – a trip of about 460 miles from its origination point of Fresno (in California's Central Valley).

BNSF 7242 - Keenbrook, CA - 12/19/09
Title:  BNSF 7242 - Keenbrook, CA - 12/19/09
Description:  As seen from the BNSF 2009 Christmas Train (led by 7236, with 7256 on the rear) heading downgrade in Cajon Pass, another westbound overtakes the passenger special, led by ES44DCs 7342, 7341, 7343 and 4184. As the freight overtook us, we could smell the fresh paint on the three recently delivered lead engines!

BNSF 7381 - Silverwood, Cajon Pass, CA - 11/13/10
Title:  BNSF 7381 - Silverwood, Cajon Pass, CA - 11/13/10
Description:  BNSF Railway symbols loaded ethanol trains as grain trains, which makes sense, I suppose, since ethanol is derived from corn. Train G-RAVWAT7-06A (Ravenna NE to Watson CA) snakes through Silverwood, just around the corner from Cajon Pass Summit, on November 13, 2010. In the distance, behind the tank cars, the white trailers being conveyed on BNSF train Z-LACWSP9-13L (Los Angeles CA to Willow Springs IL).

BNSF 7386
Title:  BNSF 7386
Description:  At the western portion of BNSF Railway's Transcon line between Chicago and Los Angeles, train S-LPCLBJ1-05A (Intermodal Stacks; originating at Logistics Park in Chicago IL headed for Pier J at the port of Long Beach CA) hustles through Atwood (the old Santa Fe station name which is now part of Placentia), California. ES44DCs 7386 and 7481 are on the headend, and ES44DC 7443 and ES44C4 6848 are the rear Distributed Power Units (DPU), pulling a long string of well cars loaded with containers. (The QZ on the Whistle Post sign indicates that this is a "Quiet Zone" and the train is not allowed to whistle for grade crossings, as it upsets the delicate sensibilities of the NIMBYs who live alongside the mainline.)

BNSF 6387 - Summit, Cajon Pass, CA - 11/6/10
Title:  BNSF 6387 - Summit, Cajon Pass, CA - 11/6/10
Description:  General Electric ES44DCs are boringly common in southern California, so even though the ES44AC on the point of train S-LBPLPC1-05A looks pretty much identical, it is still cause for interest when an ES44AC shows up this far west. (How pathetic is that? Oh, for the days of wider motive power variety...) Seen here rounding the curve into Cajon Pass Summit (and stretching out downgrade for a mile or so behind), this train is heading from the port at Long Beach, California, to Logistics Park in Chicago, Illinois, behind BNSF engines 6387, 4186, 7484 and 7388. Thats a lot of trucks off the highway!
