Heavy Freight Trains in the Cajon Pass - Part 2 (Walker to Summit)
Presented in 4K! In this Part 2 video, we'll focus on the Northern part of the pass, which includes the Summit to Highway 138 (Mormon Rocks) areas. Plenty of long and heavy freight train action to enjoy!
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.

Great work and wonderful scenery.
This is so awsome with the beautiful scenery and the the trains roll by the scenery it takes me back to my childhood sitting by the tracks and watching the trains roll by
Part one and two is excellent, and great catch the Heritage 1995!
Amazing stuff as always Michael

Hello Michael LovesTrains! Very nice video! It's a nice train video channel! I feel very comfortable! Good video! Have a nice day!
Like the old C&NW livery at 41:30. That can't be old...? Must be some special paint job.
Some stunning video photography in Cajon Pass once again! Just curious about the camera used, also why do you still use that name...probably comes from your younger days.
È stato molto interessante la realizzazione ottima sono un grande appassionato di questo posto e veramente eccezionale spero di poter vedere presto la tua prossima realizzazione🆗🆗👍
Awesome 👍👍👍 bro
Look at the trailers with tires all over the place. It be fun to just know what is is in one. Toilet paper ,big rolls of cardboard making rolls big big and heavy. And I have seen Easter grass and aluminum cans or lids. Freight is a interesting operation. Looking for Maersk out of size or with cloth tarp.,giving my age away.
Nice Graffiti work on the first cars
I Love Your Channel

MichaelLoves to make awesome videos!!!
Nice Video
Super video Michael, I bet this was a real sight for sore eyes before the introduction of the diesel locomotive. 🤔. Well done 🤓 stay safe 💙
Main Track 3 has 3% Grade which is steepest regular use grade on BNSF. Also Amtrak SWC runs through Cajon Pass. Not mentioned.
Great video. What is sonogram significance of "Crosses" onn the hill at 10:10 mark?
10:30-The crosses set up here, is this where the head-on wreck happened in 1996?

I'm wondering about that also, figured it would be something a long those lines.
Camera?
