West of Barstow - Lenwood - November 7, 2015 (64 photos) |
|
|
After the SEMA Car Show, I left Las Vegas on November 7 back to Cajon Pass. Of course, I had to pass Barstow. When I was on the Freeway there was a UP-Train rolling over the I-15 Bridge at the Barstow Main Street Exit and I decided to exit instead of continuing toward Cajon. |

| I took some photos and continued my journey to Victorville, Hesperia and Cajon Pass. While driving along Summit Valley Road, I was passing the same UP WB Train. A little bit further up, I was able to take some photos of this train. I continued my journey and went to the Mormon Rocks and Stein's Hill with good light in the late afternoon. I found the same UP WB Train coming down on MT-3 and passing Stein's Hill. It was the first time, a train was following me!
