Western Railroad Discussion > ZLCBR Schedule

I believe this is Northbound ZLCBR arriving in Santa Clarita just out of the Newhall portal 7/30 ~ 12:15 PM does anybody know its normal schedule? I want to get it at the Portal, and also the the first tunnel on entry into Soledad Canyon.  Any information would be appreciated.

from what I've read - I believe the symbol is now Z-LCTM

Well there is the ZLCTM which is usually out VERY early AM (scheduled out at 04:45) and the ZLCLT which departs later in the day usually (scheduled out at 11:30am).

Thanks for the update, Its been awhile since I have had the time to railfan, Covid has its advantages.

Thanks I would guess this would be the early departure to be in Santa Clarita, thank you for the reply

I live in Sylmar near the Roxford - Balboa siding. The ZLCLT usually comes through around 12:30 to as late as 2 pm. Today's came through around 12:15 and had 2 dpu's. I saw what I consider an unusually movement this morning ( Friday) around 9:30. Looked like the ZLCLT but had more sea containers some Matson, some HMM. Not tofc .Anyone have an idea what it was? 

Thanks for the confirmation on the schedule, I wish I could help you on the movement this AM but sounds like a reroute of a train that would normally use the Palmdale cut off.

That was the 2ZLCTM 30. They simply had too much traffic for the ZLCTM and ZLCLT so they ran this extra train with cars for both Lathrop and Tacoma.
