Action at the Colton Diamonds
Length: 3:13
Description: This is where the BNSF double tracks and UP double tracks meet, few miles east of the West Colton Yard near San Bernardino. The traffic here can be busy, as it goes to Cajon Pass, UP's Sunset Route, and most of Southern California.
Expecting BNSF Dash 9 double stacks and UP manifests feeding the West Colton Yard, I was surprised instead with a BNSF manifest led by 4 axle units: B40-8W (#513), GP60B (#333 & #328), GP60 (#8739), and a B40-8 (#8632). Soon after, I got another surprise with a westbound UP doublestack train, including the Bay Area native GP40P-2 (3rd unit, UP #1375, ex-SP #3199) which used to pull the Peninsula Commute train.
