California’s Mojave Desert is the driest place in North America. It ranges in elevation from over 11,000 feet in the Spring Mountains, to 282 feet below sea level in Death Valley. Through this seemingly barren land, a mainline railroad charts a course connecting Salt Lake City with the rich ports of Southern California. It is known as Union Pacific’s Cima Subdivision.
br>Covering the western portion of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad, the Cima Subdivision runs for 173 miles between Yermo, California and Las Vegas, Nevada. Various intermodal trains race between Chicago and Southern California. Coal trains lumber over the steel rails along with heavy manifests for Salt Lake City, North Platte, and West Colton. Auto rack and ethanol tank trains add to the interesting mix of traffic.
br>Following the Mojave River, the rails pass through the amazing features of Afton Canyon then race across the dunes to the oasis of Kelso. Next comes the stiff 2.2% climb over Cima Hill. Draw bars strain as big diesels dig in for the nineteen mile pull to the summit. Crossing into Nevada, trains leave the lonely desert behind as they roll among the lights of Las Vegas.

A landscape that is both rugged and beautiful is the setting for some of Union Pacific’s most powerful locomotives, pulling nearly every type of consist to be found on the vast UP system. As always, the 7idea videography is well done and artistic, and the narration adds to the production without intruding on the trains or the natural setting. Another “must have” from 7idea!

Cima Hill is 2.2% grade, making trains work very hard . 7idea has done a wonderful job covering this subdivision. A good variety of different trains in an interesting region.

I own almost every 7idea video. Cima Subdivision is masterfully shot (as is every 7idea production). Beautiful desert landscapes and hardworking UP trains abound in what is one of my favorite videos from Aaron. I highly recommend adding this to your collection!
