UP and BNSF Cal-P Detours 2-12-17 & 2-14-17

With all of the north/south routes in the Central Valley closed to rail traffic at the time, many BNSF and UP freights commonly seen in the valley were diverted up the less-trafficked Cal-P in an effort to keep freight moving. These are the detours I was able to catch. Enjoy.

Thanks! It makes the Cal-P look like a legit freight corridor again

Thanks! Seeing that one in the square brings back childhood memories growing up in Oakland.

Always enjoy your work. I’ll have to check out the viewpoint at the north end of the Benicia Bridge. Didn’t know it was there.

Thank you! It's accessible from a parking lot off a small industrial road.

I swear I saw a CSX leading a short BNSF manifest from where I live. It was passing the Oakland Colliseum.

But I live really far so I can barely see it so idk if it actual was a CSX unit.

Wow, did not expect that gun shot at 13:29. Dang.

@Alwaystrains 7 жыл бұрын

That guy must've fired off at least a dozen rounds. It's funny how you have bay area thugs on one side of the Benicia bridge, and on the other side, country hicks.

I have never heard of bahia ca. i live in novato and work in Richmond. Batavia either lol are these Cities?

@Alwaystrains 6 жыл бұрын

Bahia and Batavia are not cities, but rather small communities that were once towns. As the railroad developed, trackside towns popped up to support the lifestyles of the men and women who worked on the RR. As the RR modernized and began to rely less on local labor, the towns naturally lost their purpose and fell to history. The RR now uses the names as points of reference, relative to where the old stations used to stand.
