Welcome to the Western Railroading Series, where we take a look at some of the best railfanning the west has to offer. In Episode 1, we will be covering the steep grades of California's Cajon Pass. With BNSF and UP running most of their freight in and out of Southern California through the pass, there is no shortage of action. Additionally, the steep mountain grades make for some great high-horsepower action as trains climb the pass! In this video, we'll take a look at a day of action on the Pass capturing some spectacular sights and sounds of Southern California's finest railfan location. So sit back, relax, and enjoy California's Cajon Pass!
