Finally, the long train passes.

Two BNSF engines lead a mixed freight over the California Street crossing by the Gainesville train station.

Not sure what the other locos are.

BNSF's MTPLLAL-29 (Manifest Temple, TX-Lafayette, La) heads east on UP's Lafayette Sub.

This is the northern point where the tracks swap positions for the long journey through Cajon Pass. The train in the foreground is on the shorter track (more grade) down through the Pass, while the train going away from the camera already has climbed the mountain on the longer (less grade) track. The two tracks divide through the Cajon Summit area. 1001 hours.

BNSF 7057 and the rest of the light power clear the main so the loads can roll.
