Finally reaching the Horseshoe Curve
we could see the train following us getting to the curve.
Esperanza turned out to be very busy
this afternoon. We pulled up to a stop.
The train following us appeared and
stopped 200 feet behind us. An eastbound BNSF freight appeared
but stopped.
Then another Metrolink flew by us
going westbound. After that, the BNSF freight got to move
forward. We also got a yellow signal and began to move too.
Below right photograph is the end of the BNSF freight which was general
carloads and was short. Below right is approaching Imperial
Highway intersection with Orangethorpe where there happens to be the
Milepost 38 Model Train store.
Fullerton Junction turned out to be another congested area this
day. The O.L. train pulled up to a stop and so did Amtrak
785. The first thing throught was another BNSF train.
Below is the Fullerton Amtrak Station, formerly the Santa Fe Station,
and presently the location of the TrainWeb office and the Fullerton
Railway Plaza office. After this picture, I was finished using
anything electronic like my camera. The O.L. train finally made
it back to Metrolink CMF without further ado.
