Extreme Union Pacific Trains on the Cajon Pass

Presented in 4K - Located 60 miles East of Los Angeles, the world famous Cajon Pass is known for its steep, intense, and scenic railroad action. With 3 mainline tracks through the pass, both Union Pacific and BNSF trains traverse the 2.2% grades.
While BNSF offers the majority of the action through the Cajon Pass, Union Pacific has many run through trains via trackage rights, as well as on the UP owned Palmdale Cutoff. In this video, we will focus on the Union Pacific trains traversing the pass. Locations featured are from Lugo to Blue Cut. Footage from late 2023, early 2024. Train info listed in video.

I enjoy the camera angles that make the grades appear impossibly steep. Cajon is truly a fascinating stretch of railroad.

U call all these diesel electric engines I hear? Unbelievable power output n real resilience of sophisticated trains. Even scaling some elevations fr real?

around the 9 minute mark, interesting comparison, long double stack trains in the foreground and an endless parade of trucks-trailers in the distance

Nice & crispy...a great Cajon video pictorial. Are you using Sony or Canon mirrorless cameras?

I’m reasonably sure that road from Summit to Victorville was not paved when I visited 20+ years ago. Guess I’m an old-timer!

Wonderful video. For the early portion of the video, is that the location where VRF has a webcam?
