A work train heads into the Martinez siding on a very windy February day. A brakeman was riding on the very first car in the distance. I know he was wearing his gloves!
He is on the Pepper Avenue bridge at West Colton, at the division point of the UP Yuma and UP Alhambra Subdivisions.
This is not the Southwest Chief, this is the Sunset Limited.
I've always wondered why the southbound signal (there in the background) at CP CO245 North San Luis Obispo has two heads... Normally in CTC territory one would govern the diverging track, but to my knowledge it is still 2MT TWC ABS through SLO. Nice picture.
Beautiful shot! We've only braved the 'hot' weather in April up there. A nicee catch of the SJ Valley. I like the old SP searchlight, but the UP... should be SP!
