 BNSF @ Silverwood

BNSF 427 charging up the Cajon Pass near the Silverwood crossover. 

 

Hear UP, BNSF, LAJ, PHL and the Metrolink Commuter trains being dispatched out of the LA area to San Bernardino/Colton/Riverside & other points east and south to the Ports of Los Angeles & Long Beach.   It’s then either up the Cajon Pass & on to the Mojave desert or down through the San Timeteo Canyon & on to Yuma.

There’s plenty of overnight  yard/switching communications coming out of Montclair & Mira Loma serving local industry in the Pomona, Chino, & Fontana areas.  As for AMTRAK, hear the Sunset Limited, Southwest Chief, & all Pacific Surfliners trains. You might even hear a problem in the making? 

 

 

 

 

 


 Four major UP subdivisions, two BNSF subdivisions & one Metrolink subdivisions are covered by monitoring 12 frequencies. Three additional frequencies are monitored covering the Los Angeles Junction Railroad (LAJ), Pacific Harbor Lines (PHL) & the Alameda Corridor:
