by Chris Guenzler





Bill Compton picked me up and we were off to Cajon Pass, picking a spot to start our day at Blu Cut, where I had not taken any pictures in years.















BNSF 5869 East was the first train of the day.















BNSF 7522 East climbed through Blu Cut.





Bill's and my shadow.











Amtrak's Southwest Chief, Train 3, running two-and-a-half hours late had a surprise for us with P42 189, lettered as "The Heartland Flyer Big Game Train" for the Texas-Oklahoma football game last autumn.











Union Pacific 7817 East with Kansas City Southern 4032 and DPU 7942.













BNSF 6916 East rolled through Blu Cut.











BNSF 7826 West rolled downgrade. From here we drove to a spot in Sullivan's Curve.
