Cajon Pass Photo Collection
May 28 - June 5, 2010

by Werner Meer (Switzerland)

After almost 2 years, the time has come to visit Cajon Pass and our friends from Hill 582 again. As we are staying far away (Switzerland), it still takes 12 1/2 hours to fly from Zurich to Los Angeles. Thanks to Swiss Intl. Airlines who provides a non-stop service to LAX. In addition, we should not forget the big time difference of 9 hours! This time, Melinda (my wife) came also along and she sure enjoyed this trip, doing a lot of railfanning. We also met Beat & Christa Wuest (Switzerland) and we had 2 fantastic days in exploring Cajon Pass from Summit to Silverwood, Hill 582, Alray, Mormon Rocks, Sullivan's Curve down to Swarthout Canyon Road and old Route 66 (Cajon Blvd). Afterwards, we met our Hill 582 friends (Don Toles, Gary Gray, Keith Schreiber, Jerry Shinar, Lane Frank w/Helen and family, Bruce and Joy Jones). In addition, we also met a group of 5 Swiss people on Hill 582. Stefan, Eugen, Diego and Nicole & Matthias. And on June 2, we (Stefan & Werner) took the opportunity to see Cajon Pass from the air. Apple Valley Aviation provided us with a plane and a fantastic Pilot to take photos and movies from the air.
We 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.

List of photographers: Beat & Christa Wuest, Stefan Wagner, Eugen Hänseler, Werner & Melinda Meer (Switzerland).
Guest photographers: Gary G. Gray, Keith Schreiber (USA).
A big thank you for sharing these excellent pictures with us.
