Foggy Cajon Pass Railfanning

On a cold, foggy late December day in 2022, I spent a day catching BNSF and Union Pacific trains on the famed Cajon Pass where I captured train meets, a train race, and much more train action.

Great foggy Cajon photography, I assume you're out there today (2-26) videoing the snow-covered landscape.
Btw, love the upbound train race at the end!

[@Coaster3001]

Thank you! Unfortunately, I was unable to be trackside on Cajon Pass during the snowstorm yesterday.

2:02 Canadian National? Isn’t that uncommon to find in the USA?

[@soldier3157]

Cn runs through michigan so not really

[@orbitsrailfanvids]

its very common in the usa.

And we see BNSF power on CN trains in Ontario.
Cajon Pass is way heavier than any grade CN faces in Canada, though. 0.75% on Yellowhead Pass at the Continental Divide at BC/Alta, the lowest (and gentlest) of any crossing of the Divide in North America. There is a mountain in view of the tracks (Mt. Robson) that has two vertical miles of mountain exposed. That's how deep the glacier dug out the mountain valleys. Interestingly, the Continental Divide here is between the Arctic and Pacific watersheds, not between Atlantic and Pacific the way it is in most other places in the mountains, including our own Kicking Horse and Crow's Nest Passes further south.

Absolutely Amazing! loved every part of this one! What camera do you use?

[@Coaster3001]

Thanks! I use a Sony FDR-AX53.

[@reginaldwilkinson6019]

Shame on you cutting off so much of the first train. On to the next site for me.

How long of a hike from the main road is it?
