4K - A Symbol of Freedom: Union Pacific Military Train on Beaumont Hill and Cajon Pass!

Presented in 4K! A few weeks ago, Union Pacific sent a loaded military train through the Beaumont and Cajon Passes, on the Sunset Route and the Cajon Subdivisions. Luckily, I was already in the area and headed to the Beaumont Hill area to see this unique train. Bound for Yermo, the train was filled with various pieces of equipment, as well as containers at the rear which are used for explosives and other weapons.
After seeing it at Beaumont Hill, I caught it a few times in the San Timoteo Canyon area. From there, it made a prolonged stopped at Mount Vernon for a crew change, then started the long climb up the Cajon Pass. Caught it in Muscoy passing over the 210 freeway, as well as in Swarthout Canyon and Summit in Cajon Pass. Also threw in some clips from the Silverwood area, of various trains that passed by after the military train.
God Bless all of our troops who are currently serving to defend the freedoms of our country, as well as to those who have previously served, and those who have fallen. Thank you for your service!
Thanks for watching!
