I noticed an old right-of-way coming from the middle part of the curve: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cajon+Pass/@34.3239134,-117.4905356,796m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x80c34146ebbf80cd:0x1d668e0f18b95751!8m2!3d34.3117!4d-117.475 In your picture it's visible just above the UP power, and continues off to the right. Does anyone know when this line change took place? Just curious. Thanks for the post -- and I have to agree, that's some serious hiking! ;-) Date: 09/02/19 14:31 Re: Afternoon vantage point of Davis Ranch curve, Cajon Pass. Author: hotrail That is quite a view of the Palmdale cutoff and the ATSF "north track" going past I-15 and up the hill a ways. How is the view from that spot looking down the pass? Also is there any view of the ATSF "south track" from there? More pics please!

same time they broadened Sullivan's Curve, around 1977-78. Date: 09/02/19 15:33 Re: Afternoon vantage point of Davis Ranch curve, Cajon Pass. Author: SPgoletablock hotrail Wrote:
