At 10:30 pm, the conductor on BNSF Railway's Z-LACATG7-30 train looks a little bored ... And for good reason. This Priority UPS-LTL Intermodal; Los Angeles CA to Atlanta GA train is stuck, as it waits at Fullerton for the R-CAL0063-30A, which consists of two locomotives (including Santa Fe 4-8-4 3751) destined for display at the upcoming weekend's Fullerton Railroad Days. Unfortunately, because of a broken turnout, the R-CAL0063-30A is blocking Main 1. And so this high priority train, having already sat here for over a half-hour, waits. And waits. And will continue to wait for quite a while longer.
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
