When I look at the first photo, I can't see how the lines got to the old summit.  Either everthing is overgrown, or obliterated.  No sign of the wye or even the old summit area, unless your eye is trained to see it.

In the top pic above, there is a thin line (dirt road or trail) that enters the image from the right that appears to parallel just below the UP/SP Palmdale Cutoff.  This thin line (the original ATSF allignment) creates a broad downward arc as it curves right to left toward the contemporary cut of the ATSF/BNSF Summit just below the 138 overlook.

Great views!!
