Western Railroad Discussion > The Cajon I RememberDate: 08/29/16 10:22 The Cajon I Remember Author: z-trains I grew up railfanning in an area that is extremely fire prone. Multiple times during my childhood, Cajon Pass has burned completely, and some of my earliest memories of railfanning in general are watching trains creeping through the burn zone just west of Cajon Station after a fire swept through the pass in 2004. So it's no surprise that I jumped at the opportunity to head up to the pass to photograph it one more time before I left for college, especially since the Blue Cut fire had only been fully contained a week previous. Over the course of a day my father and I explored a lot of areas we wouldn't have been comfortable exploring in because of (now nonexistent) brush, and in addition we saw quite a few cool trains on the hill. Without further ado, here are the photos!

Old Bob up in Lost Wages Date: 08/29/16 12:45 Re: The Cajon I Remember Author: TedS-P I really like your 2nd and 6th photos, just because the contrast and lighting is so nice in the 2nd and the black moonscape is so well captured in your 6th. Looks like you had a good day exploring the damage, thanks for sharing.
