Western Railroad Discussion > Some Recent Black and White on Cajon Pass

There seems to have been an influx of NS power on the Cajon Sub lately (no Heritage Units, unfortunately), but solid sets of foreign power have not been common.  Here's a few shots of a couple of the all-NS consists that I was able to catch, thanks to some timely heads ups.

Thanks for looking,
GK

1.  From Jan. 18, DC to AC conversion AC44C6M NS 4122 is westbound at Lugo on its trip from the east coast to LA. 

2 and 3.  A couple of more views at the Mormon Rocks area.

4.  Also on Jan. 18, NS 4259 -- another DC to AC conversion -- is the rear DPU facing the right way on the West Colton-Ogden manifest.

5 and 6.  Today, NS 8176 is leading another westbound at Martinez and then around Sullivan’s Curve.

Nice shots. Glad for you to get the foreign power. Even here in Oklahoma NS units have been plentiful on the UP

Are these UP trains or BNSF trains?

Solid sets of BNSF power make it as far east/north as Charlotte NC on a regular basis. NS trains 264 and 265. These run to and from San Bernardino.

Nice shots Gary.

Looks lke the 1st and 3rd are BNSF, the 2nd is UP.
