Below is a Google map showing directions to "Noisy Point" above I-15. Here are two edited Google maps showing the most common route used to visit Noisy Point. From time to time, several railfans visit the area without incident, however we feel it necessary to enclose several "cautions". Noisy Point (NP) is just BNSF RR West of Interstate 15 and above the UP and BNSF CP Walker. From NP, we can see Cajon Summit AND almost to Sullivan's curve - no trains can sneak up upon you. The only drawback is the NOISE from I-15 --- and therefore, the NP name. This map shows how we normally access NP via USFS 3N53. Photos 1138 - 1147 were taken from NP (actually from the powerline tower seen on photo 1137). CAUTION --- USFS 3N53 shares the tunnel under I-15 with the UP/SP tracks. Clearance is tight and so a close check of the signals and a visual check are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Access to USFS 3N53 may also be gained via Hwy 138W and Davis Ranch Road. (Gary G.

New April 2, 2016: We just learned from Gerard Reminiskey, that the road to Noisy Point is now gated. Baldy Mesa Road has a similar gate north of the UPRR Mojave Sub. I think this is an effort to keep people out of the burn area from last summer's fire. For those who still want to go to Noisy Point for taking pictures have to walk !! Photo copyright by G. Reminiskey

Below are photos taken from the air on June 2, 2010. Even there was not a single train in the Pass during our flight, it
still gives an idea about the different locations. We also recommend to see our 8 diff. maps by Gary Gray (see below).
