Western Railroad Discussion > Best Days for Trains in Cajon PassDate: 10/17/20 11:37 Best Days for Trains in Cajon Pass Author: OCVarnes It has been some time since anyone posted about rail traffic through Cajon Pass.
Currently, what are the best days of the week? OCV Date: 10/17/20 11:58 Re: Best Days for Trains in Cajon Pass Author: hotrail It would be great if someone had actual train counts. I have been up htere on a couple of recent Saturday mornings, and there has been plenty to see

Posted from Android Date: 10/17/20 12:28 Re: Best Days for Trains in Cajon Pass Author: mapboy When I watched the Cajon (Lugo) camera for a week in early June (traffic has picked up), it averaged 2 1/2 trains per hour. That’s Cajon Sub only, not counting trains via UP’s Mojave Sub. Sundays and Mondays are usually the slowest days to avoid.
BNSF daily count- Mo 40, Tu 48, We 51, Th 48, Fr 58, Sa 46, Su 44=335, average 48/day. UP daily count- Mo 7, Tu 8, We 9, Th 10, Fr 7, Sa 11, Su 5= 57, average 8/day. AMTK daily count- 2 per day [now 6 per week?] total daily count- Mo 49, Tu 58, We 62, Th 60, Fr 67, Sa 59, Su 51=406, average 58/day.
