This photo is a good summary of what I saw of the Sunset Route east of Beaumont Hill. Wide open spaces and lots of third generation, six axel EMD power.
The LA to Atlanta GA Z-train eastbound at the Palm Springs station (Garnet to the railroad).
The LA to Marion AR Z-train eastbound at the Palm Springs station (Garnet to the railroad).
Eastbound at Garnet (Palm Springs) CA
A westbound Union Pacific freight rounds the curve as it approaches the siding at Garnet, CA, on the former SP Sunset Route.
The second trip.......when they were brand new.
Busy day at Garnet!
