Dawn at Bealville Since the night sky lightened to forewarn dawn, clouds filled in the sky over Tehachapi Pass. A low sun tries in vain to peek through a break in the gloom. At 6:45 a.m., attention to the gray clouds and wet, dewy grass is shaken as a horn is audible blowing for Cliff siding and Tunnels 5 and 4 to the east. Moments later, a BNSF train whistles for the Bealville grade crossing under the only light of a February 27, 2016, morning. By midday, the clouds will be gone, replaced by another sunny day in California.
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!)
