Eastbound through Mojave at 1400...

Train appeared to be empty - theater car rear window was covered...

Going where?

Winter storage?

looks live, this isn't a storage consisit, engineering type train

It didn't look "live" to me when it went by a few feet away...

Woke me up while I was taking a short nap at Cajon Summit. I chased it and it ended up in West Colton. According to radio chatter, the Special was supposed to take the east wye and shove all the way into West Colton, but DS 50 decided to change the plan so the BNSF traffic going across the diamonds won't be blocked (very nice of him). So the Special ended up taking the west wye, then shoved itself all the way around the balloon tracks, train facing east. Looks like it might be heading out somewhere tomorrow.

- Special facing west, the Theater car no longer covered. (it was covered in Devore)
- Facing west, shoving toward the balloon tracks.
- Voila! Train facing east.
