Cajon Pass
Submitted by Normbc9 on Thu, 10/22/2009 - 4:52pm.
My father was a UP hoghead who worked the LA Division in those yeras. The locomotive is a UP Mt series 7000 4-8-2 and it is on the downhill track in Cajon. UP and ATSF shared the rails. One (UP) went up grade and the other (ATSF) descended the grade. I sent this on to a friend and he tells me this is a war emergency troop train identified by the Military Police Security car on the head end.
Two Tracks

I am pretty sure that the tracks in the background belong to Union Pacific and those in the foreground, with the steam loco featured, are Santa Fe's.
I've been living by the railroad.....

There are 2 sets of tracks in this picture...way in the back is another set. Both of these tracks are still in use today. A third line is being added. I remember having to watching the trains pass by on Highway 138 before an overpass was built for car traffic. I was down there taking a photo from the same vantage point recently.
