BNSF 7849
Description:
An eastbound BNSF Railway double-stack train, Z-SBDWSP7-26A (Priority UPS-LTL Intermodal; San Bernardino CA to Willow Springs IL), rounds the curve at the east end of Silverwood as it approaches the Summit of Cajon Pass on June 26th, 2015. In just a few seconds, this train will meet a westbound, for which the clear signal on the cantilever in the background is intended.

BNSF’s Chicago Sub is very busy during the afternoon rush hour, as Metra train 1270 rolls into the Harlem Avenue Station at sunset. METX cab-coach 8448 is leading this train as it makes its way against traffic, heading back to downtown Chicago from Aurora. At this time of day, most of the trains are heading west to Aurora, but a few head eastward, too. METX F40PHM-2 192 is shoving this six-car train. (Berwyn, Illinois – November 12, 2015)

AMTK 637
Description:
Constructed from 1912 to 1916, New Yorks Hell Gate Bridge is, one hundred years later, still arguably the most beautiful railroad bridge in America. The entire bridge is 17,000-feet in length, but the most famous portion is the 1,017-foot steel through arch bridge that spans the Hell Gate, a strait of the East River, between Astoria in Queens and Manhattans Randalls and Wards Islands. ("Hell Gate" is a corruption of the Dutch phrase "Hellegat," which could mean either "bright strait" or "clear opening.") The bridge is so well constructed that "Discover" magazine (February 2005) has estimated that the Hell Gate Bridge would be the last New York City bridge to collapse if humans disappeared, taking at least a millennium to do so. The double-track electrified Amtrak line on this bridge connects the former Pennsylvania Railroad with the former New Haven Railroad in order to complete the line from New York City to Boston, Massachusetts. On January 27th, 2016, one of Amtraks many "Northeast Regional" trains, running from Boston, Massachusetts, to Richmond, Virginia. Train #93 is led by a pair of Siemens ACS-64 electric locomotives, numbered 637 and 621.

NY MTA 7061
Description:
The New York Subways 5 Line, dubbed the Lexington Avenue Express, operates between Flatbush Avenue – Brooklyn College in Flatbush, Brooklyn, and Dyre Avenue in Eastchester, Bronx. The Gun HIll Road station is located on a section of the 5 Line (from East 180th Street to Dyre Avenue) that was once the mainline of the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway, a standard gauge electric commuter railroad built by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. The NYW&B ceased operations in 1937, and this line ended up as part of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT), which eventually became part of New York Citys iconic subway system. This northbound train is lead by Bombardier R142 car 6761, with R142 7061 on the rear. In the distance can be seen an approaching southbound 5 Train.

CNDX 6699 - Old Lyme CT - 01/29/2016
Description:
Providing a splash of color on a dreary January day is Connecticut Department of Transportation train 1616, with equipment painted in the colors of the old New Haven Railroad, traveling across the Old Saybrook/Old Lyme truss and Bascule bridge over the Connecticut River. This train, heading from New London to Old Saybrook, has CNDX cab car 1713 up front, and CNDX GP40PH-2 6699 shoving on the rear. CNDX was built by EMD in April 1967 as Clinchfield Railroad GP38 2009. When CRR was included in the merger that created the Seaboard System, this engine became SBD 6280 and, in yet another merger, it was numbered CSXT 2189. It was rebuilt into a GP40PH-2 passenger engine for Conn DOT by AMF. (Old Lyme, Connecticut – January 29, 2016)

BNSF 4279
Description:
Following the closing on Sunday, May 1st, 2016, of Fullerton, Californias, annual Railroad Days celebration, the four mainline display pieces were coupled together to begin - eventually - the trip back to Los Angeles. Brand-new BNSF Railway ES44C4 4279 is coupled to Santa Fe 4-8-4 3751, Amtrak "Cabbage" (an F40PH diesel converted to an unpowered cab car/baggage car) 90208 and Amtrak P42DC 42. The two Amtrak pieces are both wearing the distinctive Veterans paint scheme. Nearly two hours after closing, the hundreds of spectators got what they wanted - the 3751 belching smoke and steam as this train headed east to rejoin the mainline. It would be almost another hour and a half before the real show, however, when this train would depart westbound for L.A. with the steamer providing the power. It may have been dark, but the sound was amazing!

DRR 1
Description:
Disneyland Railroad 4-4-0 #1, the "C.K. Holliday," was constructed by the Walt Disney Studio in 1954 and entered service on the Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad at Disneyland on Opening Day, July 17, 1955. The 36" gauge engine is named for Cyrus Kurtz Holliday, founder of the Santa Fe Railroad in 1859. It was designed to look like Walt Disney's "Lilly Belle" 1/8th scale live-steam model locomotive, which was the inspiration for Disneyland's railroad operation. DRR #1 underwent refurbishment in 2013 and was back in service in January 2016 - just in time for the temporary closing of the railroad due to the construction of the park's new Star Wars Land. The railroad will be rerouted as part of the construction. The engine was on display at the Fullerton train station, just a few miles north of Disneyland, for the annual Fullerton Railroad Days celebration.

SLRG 4137
Description:
One of the more interesting passenger trains in the United States these days is the "Hoosier State," operated four times per week between Indianapolis, Indiana, and Chicago, Illinios. Trains 850 and 851 operate on the days that Amtrak 50 and 51, the New York, NY, to Chicago "Cardinal," does not operate between these two Midwestern cities. On Saturday, July 9th, 2016, this trainset, with San Luis & Rio Grande GP40FH-2 4137 on the point, is serviced while laying over in Indy. SLRG 4137, wearing the colors of SLRG parent company Iowa Pacific Holdings (based upon the classic Illinois Central colors) was built by EMD in August 1967 as New York Central GP40 3078. It was eventually rebuilt by Morrison-Knudsen with a wide-hood off an old BN F45 into NJ Transit GP40FH-2 4137.

CSXT 2275
Description:
A CSX local heads back to the yard in Terre Haute, Indiana, on July 11th, 2016. Leading the train is CSXT 2275, a road slug that began life as Chesapeake & Ohio GP35 3574. Later renumbered C&O 4414, it became CSXT 4414 when that railroad was created. In the very late 1980s, it was sent to VMV in Paducah, KY, to be rebuilt into a road slug. Slugs do not posssess a diesel prime mover (to produce electricity), and to operate they must be connected to a complete diesel-electric locomotive, called the mother, which provides the needed electrical power to operate the traction motors, and the motor controls. In this case, CSXT 2275 is drawing power from CSXT GP40-2 6442 (originally Baltimore & Ohio 4428).

When Amtrak "Pacific Surfliner" #579, heading from San Diego to Los Angeles, developed problems in Laguna Niguel, it sat until rescued by Metrolink train #609 (Oceanside to LA). Led by cab car AMTK 6953 "Point Conception," the now 12-car train is running late (two hours 33 minutes for Amtrak #579 and one hour 33 minutes for Metrolink #609) as it passes through Basta, in western Fullerton, at 6:22 pm. Power for the Amtrak train is F59PHI 452, which is coupled to BNSF AC4400CW 5621 leading on the Metrolink train, with Metrolink F59PHI 882 on the rear.

As with most Metrolink trains in 2016, a leased BNSF AC4400CW, 5662, is leading because the carrier is not trusting that the pilots on the Korean-built cab cars is sufficiently braced to allow trains to operate with a cab car leading while in push-mode.

EMDX 7101
Description:
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach tend to have a higher than average amount of air-borne particulates, due to all the ship, truck and rail traffic required to get thousands of containers per day on their way across America. As a result, little Pacific Harbor Line, which switches the port area, is always on the lookout for new, low-emission locomotives. Testing on the PHL on July 15, 2016, is EMDX GP22ECO 7101, caught bringing a short train to an industrial section of Long Beach, California. Originally Penn Central GP40 3173 (built by EMD in October 1968), this engine became Conrail 3173 when that railroad was formed in 1976. CR sold it so KCS, as their 750, later renumbered to KCS 4750. It was later rebuilt as a "GP40-3" for Kansas City Southern, for which it wore number 4789 and, later, 2836.

BNSF 5627
Description:
Adding a BNSF freight engine to most Metrolink trains certainly conflicts with the carrier's streamlined equipment. BNSF AC4400CW 5627 is even less attractive, since its nose has been repainted, obliterating the railroad's identity from the front. This is Metrolink train 267, which will shortly depart Los Angeles Union Station for Lancaster, an L.A. suburb about 75 miles away in Californias Mojave Desert. The stories youve heard about L.A.'s urban sprawl are true...

SCAX 800
Description:
While preparing for the next day's display, crews repositioned Metrolink F40PH 800 and F59PH 873, and that necessitated uncoupling the two locomotives. Once the angle cocks on the train lines were closed, F40PH 800 (originally Amtrak 396) backed away from the 873, the couplers released and the hoses stretched - until one pair of MU hoses, pulled as taught as possible, finally separated with a loud whoosh of air. Photographed at the moment of release, the effects of the sudden burst of air, disturbing the accumulated dirt and dust on these engines' pilots, creates a small cloud at the hoses' ends. Almost immediately, the other pairs of hoses followed suit, and the sound of all the briefly rushing air demonstrated why the crew was wearing ear plugs.

Metrolink 905 is an EMD F125 - the date on the builder's sticker is 5/1/2016, and the builder's number is 20126849-003. Rumor has it that these engines do not have blended braking (a combination of dynamic and regular braking) and, if the prime mover has a problem and shuts down, the Head End Power also quits working. That could make for some very uncomfortable passengers if the engine quits!

SCAX 905
Description:
If you cross your eyes and let them go out of focus, it kind of, sort of, looks like an F-unit. Maybe. OK, not really. But, still, it is an F-unit. This is the front view of EMD's new F125 passenger diesel. So far, southern California's Metrolink is the only customer for these locomotives (and, as of July 17, 2016, they have taken delivery of only one). SCAX F125 905 is preparing for its "debut" the next day, July 18, at Los Angeles Union Station.

BNSF 5642
Description:
On August 13, 2016, a Metrolink train set sits between runs at the station in San Bernardino, California, with BNSF AC4400CW 5642 on one end. The station is undergoing extensive remodeling to improve passenger flow, including an elevated pedestrian crossover, realigned trackage and new platforms. The leased BNSF diesels are due to be returned by the end of 2016, as repairs to the Hyundai Rotem cab cars are underway.

Union Pacific ES44AC 2552 and SD70ACe 8363 (with two more SD70ACes, 8826 and 8809, for rear DPUs) are on the head-end of 7854’ train ZMQLC-12 as it winds through the orange groves along the edge of Redlands, California, on August 13, 2016. This is a scene reminiscent of my youth, when orange groves could be found all over southern California. The trains looked different back then, though ...

This is the old Southern Pacific Sunset Route, and the summit of this pass is Beaumont, for which this mountain crossing is named (Beaumont Hill) as trains head east out of southern California for Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and points east.

Description:
The temperature in Banning, California, was approaching 100º as Union Pacific ES44AC 8227, with train ZCIG4-13 in tow, passed through, but higher temperatures (118º!) lay ahead as this train was heading for Indio and Yuma, in the "low" desert. (Low enough that this train will operate from Banning's 2349' elevation to 220' BELOW sea level as the old SP Sunset Route skirts the Salton Sea in another 80 miles.)
