Western Railroad Discussion > Some Cima pictures from SaturdayDate: 08/03/15 17:11 Some Cima pictures from Saturday Author: syscom3 I headed out there hoping to get some trains starting to move now that the washout was repaired. Well, I got one at Ivanpah and a small one at Cima summit. I was also hoping to get some nice cloud backdrops as rain was forecast in Las Vegas. That I did manage to get.
These three pictures are of an east bound intermodal. I took these at Ivanpah.    Date: 08/03/15 17:13 Re: Some Cima pictures from Saturday Author: syscom3 Here are two more of them.
I wanted to stay here longer, but I got chased out by some bee's. They made a hive somewhere near here and they were getting pissed at me. These were the tiny desert bee's that dont sting (as far as I know) but will annoy you to death. note the signal light. It wont be long before this is replaced. Edited 1 time(s).

Along the way I saw an eastbound manifest that was 30 minutes behind the intermodal. I figured things were going to be good up there.
Wrong!!!!! After a couple hours, this was the only train that came along. A tiny MOW. It wasnt too hot up there either. But very windy. To windy for me to take a video of it.    Date: 08/03/15 17:18 Re: Some Cima pictures from Saturday Author: syscom3 So after this train left, I headed back down to Kelso. Along the way, were several construction points where the old signals are being replaced with the new.

  Date: 08/03/15 20:53 Re: Some Cima pictures from Saturday Author: 567Chant It looks to me as though the overcast bumped the color temperature in such a way as to avoid a washed-out appearance of the subject and the foliage.
Kinda nifty for the summertime! Nice work. ...Lorenzo Date: 08/03/15 21:29 Re: Some Cima pictures from Saturday Author: StStephen Wonder if the intermodal you caught was the ZLADV? Probably a sleuthing opportunity for mapboy, who seems to be able to identify these. But it seems to have mostly domestic intermodal traffic: domestic containers and a very large number of trailers. I couldn't get a clear definition, but seems like a number of the trailers were similar (but blurred) to Prime refrigerated trailers.

As always, I really enjoy your photos taken in the desert. Love those wide-open spaces! And I like the composition -- showing the vistas and the mountains in the background, and the train -- looking so small against the hugeness of the landscape. Nice work! (Gl;ad the bees didn't \sting you! Imagine that -- bees that don't sting.) Date: 08/04/15 00:01 Re: Some Cima pictures from Saturday Author: Fizzboy7 Enjoyed your photos. Do you by chance have any of the trailers from the first train?
Date: 08/04/15 04:49 Re: Some Cima pictures from Saturday Author: ns1000 GOOD stuff....!! Thanks....
Date: 08/04/15 08:52 Re: Some Cima pictures from Saturday Author: PCX Train was the ZLADV 01, so probably a lot of JB Hunt trailers on there. That is usually the only eb intermodal on that route that handles any tofc these days. Thanks for the posting.
