Tracks of the Old Santa Fe, Part 5

Green Frogs professional photographer Rich Scheid takes us to the world famous Cajon Pass.
br>The ATSF route to the pacific and Los Angeles California was completed in 1885 by the California southern railroad and bought by the ATSF in 1902. We will start this journey in downtown L.A. at L.A. Union Station. We will then climb aboard an eastbound commuter train and head for San Bernardino and visit the large intermodal yard at the base of Cajon pass.
br>We will head up the pass and visit the great photographic locations with the San Gabriel Mountains in the background such as Blue Cut, Steins Hill, Alray Tunnels, Highland, Summit, Sullivan’s Curve and more.
br>You will see rock formations Ike & Mike, and Mormon Rocks, and we will finally end up in Victorville in the high desert.
