Western Railroad Discussion > In Just 51 WeeksDate: 07/16/08 12:45 In Just 51 Weeks Author: MacBeau While rummaging through the storage drive looking for a completely different image, this shot from last year at Silverwood (BNSF Cajon Sub MP 56.6) of a three unit westbound commencing its decent down the 3% gradient of the South Track caught my eye. The comparison shot is just nine days shy of a year later, and portrays another westbound, this time descending the hill atop the new Main 1 down to CP Walker.
Be of good cheer, —Mac Date: 07/16/08 13:11 Re: In Just 51 Weeks Author: TopcoatSmith Anybody see any ballast trains up there yet ?

Date: 07/16/08 13:53 Re: In Just 51 Weeks Author: TopcoatSmith Uhmm nope, CP Waler to Cajon isn't done yet. Those tracks in the pics have been done for many months (tunnel removal aside).

Would that be a siding? It's been too long since I've drove over to Silverwood. Date: 07/16/08 15:19 Re: In Just 51 Weeks Author: msdgbar That track is a cutover to UPs palmdale cutoff to West Colton from Yermo yard east of Barstow.

Date: 07/16/08 16:48 Re: In Just 51 Weeks Author: prr8462 They unloaded a 40 car ballast train on the new main 1 above Keenbrook yesterday. Look for main 2 between Silverwood and Walker to be open by this weekend.
