few UP from the "boxes" . . .
Author: 3rdswitch

. . a couple very dark exposures and the top covered with shadows,
top one taken on the "short cut" at San Bernardino, CA 12-76. middle taken westbound descending Cajon Pass below Cajon station 1-76.
bottom I don't recall what direction this train was going and I "think" near Walnut, CA 6-77?

#3 not near Walnut. Looks like a westbound west of Mira Loma

Good post! Amazing what some TLC with Photoshop or Lightroom can do for a slide that wasn't quite right.

Awesome photos Joe. It seems that the sanders work well in that second photo. Thanks for posting these.

Great shots JB. I agree that #3 isn't Walnut. Looks like Ontario where the tracks parallel Mission Blvd. and the Ontario airport.

Great series JB, that brake shoe haze makes the second and the last shot just a WAG, an eastbound near Guasti.
