Nice collection of units, as well: https://www.railpictures.net/photo/756271/ Five units - all different, and three different liveries by the look of it too. I wonder how long the photographer had to spend in the desert to get the shot? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendell1976 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Here's a picture of a Union Pacific Railroad train in Golden, Colorado. The train had just passed Blue Mountain in the snow. Golden is a suburb of Denver. Merry Christmas to all of you! https://www.railpictures.net/photo/737845/ Wendell Parks Idaho, USA 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendell1976 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Here's a 1989 picture of a Santa Fe Railway piggyback train in Pasadena, California. The train is running in the median of the Foothill Freeway(Interstate 210 or I-210). The Super Chief, Southwest Limited, and Southwest Chief trains of the Santa Fe/Amtrak used to traverse this route back in the day. Today, the freeway median is double-tracked and the L.A. Metro L Line(formerly Gold Line) light rail trains run between suburban Azusa and East Los Angeles via Downtown Los Angeles. Happy New Year to all of you! https://www.railpictures.net/photo/190502/ Wendell Parks Idaho, USA 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted January 1, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 1, 2021 That's a great picture. I rode a Metrolink train out from L A Union to San Bernadino in 2007 that went a long way along the median of a freeway. Jamie 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Metrolink's San Bernardino Line runs in the median of the San Bernardino Freeway(Interstate 10 or I-10) for many miles on former Pacific Electric Railway trackage.
