(121K) Atop the pedestrian crossover bridge, a beautiful shot of a freight passing beneath. I had to get the camera lense close to the protective cyclone fencing so I could look through the holes to get a clear unobstructed photograph



(87K) A Santa Fe work train stopped right in front of the depot just so I could photograph it! I appreciated it very much



(54K) Rats, the work train only stopped because they needed the signal at the west end ot Fullerton Junction. Here, the engineer is talking to the Santa Fe San Bernardino Sub DS
