BNSF Freight at Cajon Pass Summit with Snowy Peaks

Californian Cajon Pass triple track main line is a scene of serious freight railroading, even during the recession of year 2008. Huge freighters bring containers across the pacific to many harbors of the U.S. West coast and the two mighty railroads BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad take these containers inland to the bigger cities through the mountains. While many California scenes are stone or rust colored, this picture shows the rare beautiful snow cover on the mountaintops while the quintet of BNSF locos on the tip of the stack train trundle by.
