| Day 13 - THIRTEEN - 186 Photos |
Mormon Rocks - Pine Lodge - Hwy 138 - Stein's Hill Hill 582 (Visit No. 7) |
| 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 |

Highway 138 - Mormon Rocks - Stein's Hill
| Today (Day 13), I was driving uphill on Route 66 and saw a BNSF EB Tank Train from the distance. I continued my journey, entered I-15 at Cleghorn and exited immediately at Hwy 138 and quickly parked my van just before the Cajon Creek bridge of Hwy 138 to ctach the BNSF EB at 07.13 h. (30 pics) | ||

| While waiting for he next train, a BNSF Hi-Railer passed by on MT-3. I was sitting on the bench facing the East side of Hill 582 and we got some nice vistors (squirrels) looking for food (seeds from the bird feeder). Well, it was natural desert wild life and very peaceful !! | |||
