Nostalgia & History > Happy 50th Anniversary Palmdale CutoffDate: 12/13/17 23:27 Happy 50th Anniversary Palmdale Cutoff Author: Mr-Beechcroft SD39 #5307 is on the point of an eastbound back in 1973. The train is passing a nudist camp near Devore.
Next is the 7558 rolling into West Colton from the cutoff back in September of 1991. Adam   Date: 12/14/17 09:33 Re: Happy 50th Anniversary Palmdale Cutoff Author: railstiesballast The Western board has several discussion entries on the 50th anniversary post.

He and I worked the West Colton to Yermo local for a while which used the Palmdale cutoff, at first crossing over at Keenbrook and then using the Silverwood crossover. He had a special whistle cadence that he'd whistle off and several of the residents there would come out and "moon" us as we went by.-BMT
