In 1992 I went camping here, and at Tehachapi Loop for a few nights with our model railroad club. That was a great time to be a railfan because you never knew what was coming around the curve...

Railroad engineers are American hero’s for moving freight over any terrain.

I saw an interview a few years ago with an engineer who frequently traverses the Cajon Pass. He said it takes more skill going down that grade than up, and the locos work just as hard if not harder.

You’ve got a loose still camera impinging it’s shutter action sound on the otherwise impressive diesel exhaust coming towards your video position!?! I used to have that problem til I shot it!!! That aside I really loved the video - impressive countryside, fantastic camera positioning and GE V10’s grunting hard!!! Really good videography!

OMG those noisy SLRs are a pain in the you know what. They destroy every scene with subtle sound. Thank God most of them have been phased out. Hopefully to never return.

Is it true? Are the trains computer controlled? Engineer is there for emergency and interventional purposes?

Are these two individual lines that meet or one huge passing loop? Watching in New Zealand.

@RRphotographer661 Ай бұрын

This section of the Cajon pass has 3 main lines stretching for about 18 miles before it goes to a double track mainline

At 14:10 there was an engine and 2 cars passing the other train. What was the last car in that short train?

@johncamp2567 Ай бұрын

That is a track-geometry car with a covered-hopper as a safety buffer car. The underside of the geometry car has lasers, scanners, and cameras for measurements.

@glennfoster2423 Ай бұрын

@@johncamp2567 I don't quarrel with your statement that the buffer car is somehow for safety reasons, however, what particular safety issue would that be? I rode a G-car over several different districts of the ATSF years ago. We never had a railcar between the power and the testing unit. May I suggest that the purpose of the buffer car is to isolate any effect of the power unit operation on the track structure during testing. Certain pass/fail tolerances are measured in fractions of an inch in track geometry. The issue is not far from an issue of correctly measuring the temperature of an axle bearing and accounting for ambient temperature.
