| Cajon Pass Photo
Collection June 22 - July 6, 2011 |
| 15 Days Cajon Pass by Werner Meer (Switzerland) |
|
fifteen (15) albums are online (see below) (there are a total of 5552 photos) |
| After just 1 year, the time has come to visit Cajon Pass and our friends from
Hill 582 again. No question, I had a fantastic time in exploring Cajon from
every corner. A big thank you goes to Don Toles and Gary Gray, who showed me
some new spots (elevated locations) which I did not know so far. In addition, I
did my own exploring in using several power line roads. To be honest, I was
sometimes at the limit with my minivan and even had to move some rocks out of
the road to be able to pass slowly. Actually a big 4x4 pickup truck or SUV would
have been best. I did not only meet my friends and photographers of Hill 582
(Don, Gary and Marc) but also Jerry Shinar (hilltender of WSI), Keith Schreiber,
Ron Davidson and Chuck Donaldson. Chuck is also having a great web site with fantastic photos: http://somewherewest.com/ This time, I took photos (5500) from these locations: Summit, Silverwood, WSI, Hill 582, Alray (former Tunnel area), Mormon Rocks, Stein's Hill, around Highway 138, Sullivan's Curve, Cajon Station, old Route 66 (Cajon Blvd.), Swarthout Canyon Road and finally Palm Ave. Crossing. As I went to several overlooks high above, I was trying to take photos from far away. Not every photo was good because of the long distance, haze and the heavy wind. Please note: As a train does not only exist of the locos but all the cars, I made plenty photos of the different cars (incl. graffiti). I also visited the Fontana Terminal of Werner Enterprises trucking company. A great experience to see the real thing as I am building an HO scale layout (1/87) with Trucks & Trailers of Werner Enterprises: http://www.trainmaster.ch/layout.htm Also for my layout, I got my very first Joshua Trees in HO scale (1:87). These are made by Mason Clark in a accurate shape and really look like the original (great job): http://www.mstrains.com/ |
