OSTBA-22 at Communications Hill w/ Patched SP Unit
Author: nickgeorge25

Just caught the OSTBA-22 a few minutes before sunset, entering the cut through Communications Hill just south of Downtown San Jose. This is an empty coke train that runs down the Coast Sub every few weeks to Bromela, CA from the port at Stockton, CA. UP 5574 leads with UP 6379, a patched SP unit, running second.

Great photo - bringing suburbia, nature, and railroading all together in a perfect way.

Nice shot. I always cross the tracks and shoot up the hill in the morning light. I should try that side now!

Thanks everyone... got lucky with this shot! You can access this spot really easily from the end of Azevedo Ct. I live in the neighborhood and heard the horn in the distance, so I grabbed my camera and ran up the hill with about 30s to spare.
