| Day 11 - ELEVEN - 230 Photos |
Route 66 - SWC - Hwy 138 - Mormon Rocks - Pine Lodge Hill 582 (6) |
| This time, I took photos (5550) 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 San Bernardino. 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 |
