MJRX 849 - Kansas City, MO - 9/17/10
Description:
Tucked away in a small yard in Kansas City, Missouri, is an eclectic collection of power awaiting rebuilding. Seen here is MJRX (Railway Service Contractors) B30-7 849 (ex-Dakota Short Line 849, originally Southern Pacific 7849). Behind it is a primered switcher that has been rebuilt extensively, and whose heritage and model I could not determine. MJRX SD40 9003 is ex-UTAH 9003, ex-CSXT 8371, nee-C&O 7512, MPEX 752 (peaking out in the rear) is also now owned by MJRX but has yet to be so marked, and is the former Utah Railway 9011, ex-CSXT 8398, ex-WM 7547, nee-WM 7447.

MJRX 849 - Kansas City, MO - 9/17/10
Description:
Railway Service Contractors (MJRX) B30-7 849, seen here in Kansas City, Missouri, on September 17, 2010, rolled out of General Electrics Erie (PA) factory in March 1979 as Southern Pacific 7849. After the Union Pacific absorbed the SP, 7849 was retired on 12/26/01. In July 2002 the UP sold this engine to G&I Leasing (Nampa, ID), who resold it to Dakota Southern (who renumbered it 849), which subsequently unloaded it to Railway Service Contractors on a date unknown. Curiously, SP 7849 does not show up on any lists as having been repainted in the ill-fated SPSF "Kodachrome" scheme.

BNSF 6642 - Kansas City, KS - 9/19/10
Description:
A pair of interesting diesels are on BNSF Railways H-GALKCK2-19A (Galesburg IL to Kansas City KS) - Brand-new ES44C4 6642 is on the point, and also new 3GS21C 1305 heading west to, eventually, California. General Electrics ES44C4s are, at this date, unique to the BNSF and feature four, rather than six, traction motors. The center axle of each truck is unpowered, so these locomotives have an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement (just like an E-unit). But, unlike E-units, these feature a variable traction control system in their computer systems and, with the center axle capable of being raised off the rail slightly to maintain sufficient adhesion by varying the weight on the drive axles. Switch engine 1305, built by National Railway Equipment (of Mount Vernon, IL), is a low-emissions diesel road switcher locomotive that has low-emissions to keep air clean in southern California. It is powered by three Cummins QSK19C I6 engines with each one developing 700 horsepower and creating a total power output of 2,100 horsepower.

BNSF 6387 - Summit, Cajon Pass, CA - 11/6/10
Description:
General Electric ES44DCs are boringly common in southern California, so even though the ES44AC on the point of train S-LBPLPC1-05A looks pretty much identical, it is still cause for interest when an ES44AC shows up this far west. (How pathetic is that? Oh, for the days of wider motive power variety...) Seen here rounding the curve into Cajon Pass Summit (and stretching out downgrade for a mile or so behind), this train is heading from the port at Long Beach, California, to Logistics Park in Chicago, Illinois, behind BNSF engines 6387, 4186, 7484 and 7388. Thats a lot of trucks off the highway!

BNSF 6646 - mp 58, Cajon Pass, CA - 11/6/10
Description:
General Electrics ES44C4 diesels, with their unique A-1-A trucks, are (so far) unique the the BNSF Railway. A pair of them, 6646 from the second order, and 6602 from the first, are on the head end of unit coil steel train U-PITKAI1-05A (Pittsburg, California to Kaiser [Fontana], California) as it descends Cajon Pass in southern California on November 6, 2010. The second order of the ES44C4s have noticeably heavier handrail stanchions (they almost appear solid in this image) than the earlier order, a trait shared with later ES44DCs as well. (The consist for this train is 6646, 6602 and 7440 up front, with 4081 and 5010 as the DPUs on the rear.)

BNSF 7711 - mp 58, Cajon Pass, CA - 11/6/10
Description:
Faded GE ES44DCs dominate many of the trains in southern California, as many of the 7700-class units are assigned to trains out of Barstow, including the manifests out of the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and the train the runs to San Diego. The paint looks horrible because, as I understand it, harsh chemicals are used to remove grafitti and those chemicals also damage the factory applied paint jobs. Ironically, not long before this San Diego to Barstow freight appeared, my San Diego-based brother had been commenting on the lack of variety appearing on the BARSDG / SDGBAR trains. The the M-SDGBAR1-05A (San Diego to Barstow) shows up with an old Santa Fe GP60M, still in sharp-looking Warbonnet colors, much to his surprise!

BNSF 5200 - Mormon Rocks, Cajon Pass, CA - 11/13/10
Description:
Cajon Pass famed "Mormon Rocks" are a series of cemented sandstone beds much more resistant to erosion than the surrounding gravel and silt sands, giving them a pockmarked appearance. Officially called the Rock Candy Mountains, the strange rock formations are one of the youngest and most active geological regions in North America. Formed by the overlapping of the Baja Plate and the North American Plate, the Mormon Rocks (so nicknamed because this was the preferred route of Amasa Lymand and Charles Rich, who led a band of Mormon settlers from Salt Lake City across the Mojave Desert in 1851) are a visible indicator of the San Andreas Fault (where the two aforementioned tectonic plates collide). BNSF Railway ethanol train G-RAVWAT7-06A (Ravenna NE to Watson CA), led by Dash 9-44CW 5200, threads its way through "the Rocks" on November 13, 2010.

Description:
On November 13, 2010, BNSF Railway G-RAVWAT7-06A (loaded ethanol, Ravenna NE to Watson CA) rounds the curve approaching Swarthout Road, just east of Blue Cut in Cajon Pass. Power for this train is Dash 9-44CW 5200, ES44DC 7206, ES44C4 6608 and ES44DC 7686 (with ES44C4 6605 and ES44DC 7381 for the rear DPU). Note the faux rock retaining wall in the background, installed when this line was triple-tracked a couple years previously.

BNSF 7222 - Silverwood, Cajon Pass, CA - 11/13/10
Description:
Just a few years ago, BNSFs line over Cajon Pass (which they share with Union Pacific) was triple-tracked and a connection between the BNSF lines and the UPs former SP Colton Cutoff was installed just beyond the cantilever signal seen here. Here we see train Z-LACWSP9-13L (Priority UPS-LTL Intermodal; Los Angeles CA to Willow Springs IL) swinging around the last curve before reaching Summit.

BNSF 7381 - Silverwood, Cajon Pass, CA - 11/13/10
Description:
BNSF Railway symbols loaded ethanol trains as grain trains, which makes sense, I suppose, since ethanol is derived from corn. Train G-RAVWAT7-06A (Ravenna NE to Watson CA) snakes through Silverwood, just around the corner from Cajon Pass Summit, on November 13, 2010. In the distance, behind the tank cars, the white trailers being conveyed on BNSF train Z-LACWSP9-13L (Los Angeles CA to Willow Springs IL).

BNSF 7575 - Cajon Pass, CA - 11/13/10
Description:
BNSF Railways Z-LACNYC9-13A (Priority UPS-LTL Intermodal; Los Angeles CA to New York NY) ascends southern Californias Cajon Pass, which has a lot more trackage today than it did just a few years ago. The BNSF (on which the Union Pacific has trackage rights) has three mainlines here (two in this shot, and another off camera to the left), the UP has the former Southern Pacific Palmdale Cutoff (built in the late 1960s) - seen here just above the train - and the recently built Silverwood crossover connecting the BNSF and UP (just behind the 7575).
