#4 looks like the curve west of San Luis Obispo, California leading to Cuesta Pass.

Number 3 is a westbound move crossing Caliente Creek between Ilmon and Bena.

Number 4 looks like the Allard horseshoe at what is now part of Bealeville.

I want to say #1 is near the Salton Sea but theres just not enough background to go on.

On No.1, I can see what look like fruit trees in the background (which are indicitive of the San Joaquin Valley), but the train looks like a Sunset Route train, maybe Arizona?

Looks like a westbound, either close to the east switch Thermal or possibly on the eb main at Coachella running against the current of traffic.
