Western Railroad Discussion > Like a bat out of hell...Date: 06/16/19 11:10 Like a bat out of hell... Author: z-trains ...or maybe out of Barstow is more appropriate. Last year, ACes were relatively rare on the BNSF in Southern California and I had word that one was leading a San Bernardino bound intermodal in good afternoon light. So off to Hodge where I unpacked the big lens and set up for the double curves. In my opinion, the severe compression and the husky lines of the leading ACe show off the great vantage point Hodge is for watching trains start to climb up out of the Mojave River basin on their way up to Cajon Pass. Thanks for looking!
