Colorful trains through Newhall, CA.
Author: lamta_jay

While working in Newhall, California for 6 years I enjoyed the
few freights that came through. Every morning after the Metrolink
rush we had a intermodal train and was never sure what the train
symbol was but was always a surprise to see what was pulling the
train.
Most of these taken at 13th Street crossing and a few at the
Metrolink platform.

First in 1994 @ 13th St. Crossing PTLAT ?
Second in 1999
Third in June of 2000

I have more...thanks for looking

Forth is at the Metrolink platform October of 2000

Fifth is at the 13th St crossing in 2001

Sixth is again at 13th street in 2001. This was
the Mojave-Dolores unit oil.

Just a couple more...thanks for looking

Seventh is north of San Fernando Road with a clean SD70m

Eight is again headed through the platform at the Metrolink
platform.

Its been YEARS since I have been here and am sure there has been
many changes. I do regret not taking any Saugus Local pics but
work always came first.

Again, thanks for looking !

Thank you for these shots! My all time favorite time period of railroading was the 90's. It takes me back to when I was a young kid being trackside.

Wild mix of power throughout the 90's and 2000's as SP started fading away. Great documentation! The first few of yours are the PCLAX.

I think I've mentioned before, I worked at the hobby shop just up S.F. Road during 1991-1993. I remember the PTLAF and cans, but not much else. We had a back door next to Kmart I'd sneak out of just to see what was going by. Great times all around and never thought it would end!

Thanks for sharing!
