Extreme Freight Trains in the Cajon Pass - Part 1 (Blue Cut to Sullivan's Curve)

Presented in 4K! Located 60 miles East of Los Angeles in the San Bernardino Mountain Range, the world famous Cajon Pass is known for it scenic, intense, and steep railroad action. A natural dividing barrier between Victorville and San Bernardino, Union Pacific, BNSF trains, and vehicular traffic traverse the 2.2% grades of the pass. BNSF's Cajon Subdivision offers 3 mainline tracks that both BNSF and Union Pacific trains use, while the Union Pacific also hosts its Palmdale Cutoff Mojave Subdivision line, exclusively for their trains. The Cajon Pass is one the more remote areas in Southern California, providing a nice break of trainwatching in a peaceful setting.
Running between Barstow and San Bernardino, BNSF's Cajon Subdivision is the main trafficked route, providing three main tracks over the pass. In addition, the Union Pacific's Palmdale Cutoff provides routing through the pass, offering access to the West Colton Yard and points north towards Mojave and Central California. In addition to BNSF trains on their respective subdivision, Union Pacific has trackage rights in order to access their LASL line in Daggett, towards Las Vegas and Salt Lake City.
In this video, we'll focus on the more Southern part of the pass, which includes Sullivan's Curve and Blue Cut areas.

Southern California is absolutely, strikingly,singularly,gorgeous and beautiful. Love this footage with the 015 in the background. As a person from San Diego, I both know, love/hate/dread travel through The Devil’s Highway/Cajon Pass. Thank you for sharing.

Every year I keep telling myself that I need to go see Cajon. You saved me a lot of money but I still got to see the action! Thanks for this presentation.
