I am very pleased to show some exclusive photos of Michael Frei (MIF).

A big thank you for sharing these excellent pictures with us.
Note: The copyright belongs to this gentleman. Do not use any photos without written permission.

Photos are sorted by location from East to West (not by date, number or railroad):
Frost/Flyover, Lugo, Summit, Hill 582 Area
plus bonus photos (Mojave Desert)

Abbreviations found on this page: EB = East Bound, NB = North Bound, SB = South Bound, WB = West Bound, MP = Mile Post,
MT-1 = BNSF Main Track 1, MT-2 = BNSF Main Track 2, MT-3 = BNSF Main Track 3, UPT = UP Track (Colton-Palmdale Cutoff),
DPU = Distributed Power Unit (Helpers), EOT = End of Train, DBS = Double Stack Train, TOFC = Trailer on Flat Car (Piggy Back),
This time, we are going to show all photos and not only the best. Because of being in the digital age of photography, we can shoot as many as we want. Therefore, you can see the different positions of each train.
This is real modern railfanning - enjoy !
