HRSX 3008 - Oro Grande CA - 12/17/18 |
| Description: |
A pair of GP38-2s leased from Harbor Rail Services of California shove a string of covered hoppers at the TXI cement plant in Oro Grande, California, on January 17, 2018. HRSX 3007 is ex-Progress Rail (PRLX) 5059, ex-Norfolk Southern 5059, nee-Southern Railway 5059, and HRSX 3008 is ex-PRLX 5067, ex-NS 5067, nee-SOU 5067. Each was built with a high short hood (high nose), and the noses were lowered by Progress Rail to make them more appealing on the lease market. |

UP 8925 - Bryman CA - 12/17/18 |
| Description: |
Twnenty-six miles west of Barstow, California, on BNSF's Cajon Subdivision, is the old Santa Fe station of Bryman. And it is here, five miles east of Oro Grande, that a westbound Union Pacific train (UP has trackage rights on BNSF's Cajon Sub), led by SD70ACe 8925, sits on the main because of a "trespasser strike." The 2018 BNSF Railway California Division Christmas Train has crossed over to the other main in order to get around this train as it heads from Barstow to Victorville to unload a few volunteers, and then head back to San Bernardino for the night. As for the UP intermodal train, radio chatter indicated that a transient had tried to hop on one of the engines as the train was slowly moving, and wasn't successful - or seriously injured.
