4K: BNSF and Union Pacific Freight Trains in the Cajon Pass - Foreign Power, CNW Leader, & More!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- Presented in 4K! Located 60 miles East of Los Angeles, the world famous Cajon Pass is known for it steep, intense, and scenic railroad action. Nestled between Victorville and San Bernardino in the San Bernardino Mountain Range, both Union Pacific and BNSF trains 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. Over the past few months, I've collected some footage from around the Cajon Pass. Been lucky to get awesome action, and awesome power as well!
Highlighting the video, in early January 2018 Union Pacific sent a very special treat in the early morning hours. UP 6706 was on point of an empty grain train traveling from Texas to Idaho, with a stopover in Arizona to unload the product. Formerly CNW 8804, the AC44CW is one of the very last remaining engines with the original CNW paint scheme, untouched by the Union Pacific! Along with a friend, we chased this train up the Cajon Pass starting in the Rialto area of the Palmdale Subdivision. After getting on the BNSF at Keenbrooke, the empty grain train headed up the pass and then towards Yermo.
Also included is various BNSF and Union Pacific action along the 3 mainlines of the Cajon Subdivision. Sullivan's Curve located near the middle of the pass is one famous area featured, which offers stunning views as the tracks curve around the rocks and hills of the pass. Got lucky with an awesome train race between the BARWAT and Kaiser Hauler, as well as the Union Pacific North Platte manifest with an awesome consist!
Overall, I only scratched the surface of the amazing Cajon Pass in this video. There's just so many unique and scenic places, the possibilities are endless!
Thanks for watching!

My son is a conductor for BNSF and has been on the San Bernardino to Barstow run many times through the Cajon Pass. Now he's up north in Bakersfield.
Many times! How impressive of your son!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching all the many trains on this video. Trains pulling the grade in run 8 and trains descending the grade in dynamic braking. Trains passing or meeting one another. This old retired locomotive engineer just loved it. Keep em coming!👍❤️
I live in Maryland and I've been to Cajon 5 times. It's one of the GREAT train watching spots in America not only for the scenery, but for the volume. The 2 trains "racing" each other at 4:28 was spectacular!
I love your enthusiasm and fresh perspective. I've driven over Cajon pass maybe 200+ times, so I'm a bit jaded, but the dirt trails running high over the pass do make for nice views, like the bend with the two trains.

Love the beautiful scenery!! The awesome length of the UP trains and its great motive power! Love the Union Pacific Railroad, truly Building America!🇺🇸
Watching videos from the Cajon Pass makes me homesick! My favorite place to watch trains.
OMG what beautiful landscapes and mighty trains . That Rio Grande loco was just awesome . Australia is a big country but we don’t have this amazing landscape . Cheers from Australia .
Go hip u know what

Great video! Brings back sweet memories from my childhood! We used to travel that route (138) every weekend!
The Union Pacific comes down the Mojave Subdivision out of Lancaster and Palmdale into Colton Yard. The BNSF comes down the Cajon Subdivision out of Barstow into San Bernardino. The Alhambra and Yuma Subs are Union Pacific. The Yuma Sub comes out of Yuma Arizona to Colton. The Alhambra Sub comes out of Colton to downtown Los Angeles. The San Bernardino Sub is BNSF. It runs from San Bernardino to the Alameda Corridor, and connect to the River Sub via the Redondo Fly Over southeast of downtown Los Angeles.
Respect for the Guys keeping that long Iron Snail under Control over such a steep Canyon. The BNSF Trains are amazing, I like the Design and seeing what a long Convoy they pull up and down is awesome. Greetings from Germany where the Trains are way shorter ;)
4:18 One of the best - if not *the* best - clips I have ever seen of Cajon Pass action. Brilliantly shot and the location is perfect.

3:01 - what a legendary shot! Amazing video. Love it!
Being a retired STO in mountain area in PA, I love watching trains on grade being pushed, real railroading.
THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO BEAUTIFUL LOCATIONS. LOVED THE ACTION AT SULLIVAN CURVE. IF I LIVED THERE I WOULD STAY AT THIS LOCATION THE WHOLE DAY. NICE JOB
Joe Leveille Sir you would love hill 582 better trust me look it up
That's the best mix bag video I've seen yet! Rio Grande, huge mixed freight, KCS and CSX! What the hex!? Out here? And a warbonnet to boot and so much more.
Thanks Again Michael. The Rio Grande locomotive is a treat to see as well.

The race at Sullivan's Curve at 4:15, now I'm jealous... Lol, awesome content!
Really nice views! As much fun as they are to watch I like to play these videos in the other room while I'm working with the big subwoofer. Rail ambiance for the work day!
great train video
That Rio Grand engine behind the two union Pacific's look great.
Some really great angles I had never seen on Cajon, Great work Michael, Thank you!!

Thanks, I wish we had freight trains like that in France!
Some nice vantage points. Makes me want to get back down there. Thumbs up.

4:30 Best shot
Absolutely amazing footage, thank you for sharing.

Awesome...
Often drive this with my train simulator
Actually cajon pass is northeast of LA.
I've driven that pass hundreds of times in a big truck, both northbound & southbound.
Don't forget, that pass is also the site of a very deadly train crash many years ago.
Beautiful RailRoad
The Pocatello end is fantastic!
Magnifique cette vidéo. Merci de nous la transmettre; Amicalement
Do you know what America needs? More trains!
Fantastic video. Amazing trains and scenery.

I remember when we put the patches and renumbered those CNW locomotives
Great views of the desert. This has to be one busiest rail corridor in the country.
I'am a traindriver on the iron ore line in South Africa, very nice video, thanks

Thanks Michael. I've sat in Cajon pass close to the tracks watching trains go by. Some may think it's silly, but I enjoy it as you do. Appreciate the footage!
Watching this in 4K is fabulous. Thanks for the excellent quality you're providing in these videos.
Жаль, что нет комментарий : ...ТТХ тепловозов, веса поездов и уклоны. Что нагрузка от оси тепловозов выше наших с 23-25тдо 32т, а вагонов до 42т это известно, ведь на одной платформе два АБРАМСа, а это-60+60т. Ещё просмотрев несколько видиков Американских ж д, Яне увидел из труб тепловозов даже небольшого дымка зато наши просторы БАМа и др окутаны этим ядовитым чадом. Сейчас наши ж д стали частными, но ничего не изменилось. Без хозяйственно есть и равнодушие никуда не ушли. На руководящих постах по-прежнему безграмотных руководитель. Я всю жизнь с фанатизмом боролся с этой без хозяйстве горстью, вносил массу предложений по улучшению того или иного, даже выступал с докладом в МПС на научно- техническом совете и в итоге эти корумпрованные чиновники пытались меня уволить по 33й статье, а потом когда не получилось, хотели уволить по не доверию коллектива депо Н.Ургал БАМ ж д. Сейчас я более 20 лет на пенсии, но с со драганием смотрю, что ничего не изменилось в лутщую сторону и таких как я вообще не держат и профсоюзах как раньше были не стало

Fantastic trains and videos ! 👍🏻
I love comments about the "beautiful scenery". It makes sense to me that Cajon pass is a train watchers gem, but I never though of it as particularly beautiful compared to other passes. The scenery in Cajon pass is more rugged and warmer than lusher and colder passes in Norther California, or perhaps Utah and Colorado. It's more like a desert. The thinner vegetation in So Cal exposes any and all man made structures, where a densely forested or snowbound pass either conceals such structures from view, or else adorns them with decorative snow and fauna, and in that sense Cajon pass is perhaps not as pretty as other passes I've seen. On the other hand, some people don't even live near mountains, or deserts for that matter, so this landscape could be downright "exotic" from their perspective. I will say the Cajon pass & other So Cal passes, though more "rugged" and less green (or snowy) than passes farther norther, can likewise be more dynamic in appearance, such as spring time after heavy rain seasons, or when they do have good snow.
American freight trains are king of the cargo transportation in United States of America!
Great work... Almost like a ballet in some later parts!
Great Video, thanks for sharing
Great show!!

Such great RR action. Here in the PNW it is all pumpkins and armor yellow. Pretty boring. Love seeing the variety from road names past, especially the warbonnets.
Please, the name of the film. The plot is: A long freight train running through the frame of film. A woman and a man couldn't hear each other because of the noise. They are standing the opposite sides of the moving long freight train. Probable years of production: 70-80s, the guy had a car. These scene is in the end of the film. Please, help with the title. Thanks
Nice catch with the patched out ex Santa Fe SD75.
Got to love the irony of a former Santa Fe (then later in life) former BNSF SD75M that was sold off to Progressive Rail Leasing ending up under lease operating right back on the same trackage it was sold off from. Go figure...
Great shots at 4:29! I was so hoping that someone had a video from Sullivan's curve of that race. That ex CNW engine must have gone through before I showed up. Either way, great day for railfanning.
Thank you, that was one epic race indeed. The CNW shots were actually from January.
American logistics and cargo transportation is very large scale!!
And American freight trains are king of the cargo transportation and logistics in United States of America!!
Great video! Thanks for uploading!
Nice. 2-fer at 4:30 & 19:40. Not real close but great locations. Thanks for sharing.
I see that long train being pulled up that grade with just a few locomotives, around those bends, and I don't know how it is possible!
Two in front, two behind.
Out class video and wonderful shorts
Sehr schön gefällt mir.

Michael loves his trains!
Great video with great locations. Love to see the American countryside as well. All the best.Mick U.K.
Great video! Cajon Pass is awesome. Untouched is a bit a stretch though for UP 6706, with your description I was hoping for a clear C&NW logo still on it.

Sensacional guerreiros!! 👏👏
what camera is that
oh Cajon pass. one of the most and if not the most dangerous railroad pass in the United states. Home to not one, not two, but three Runaway train disasters.
Wow, Awesome video! I used to wonder how's the track terrain looked like from the I5, now I know!
Amazing video 📸 sir🙏
