4K: BNSF and Union Pacific Freight Trains in the Cajon Pass - Foreign Power, CNW Leader, & More!

- Presented in 4K! Located 60 miles East of Los Angeles, the world famous Cajon Pass is known for it steep, intense, and scenic railroad action. Nestled between Victorville and San Bernardino in the San Bernardino Mountain Range, both Union Pacific and BNSF trains traverse the 2.2% grades of the pass. BNSF's Cajon Subdivision offers 3 mainline tracks that both BNSF and Union Pacific trains use, while the Union Pacific also hosts its Palmdale Cutoff Mojave Subdivision line, exclusively for their trains. Over the past few months, I've collected some footage from around the Cajon Pass. Been lucky to get awesome action, and awesome power as well!
Highlighting the video, in early January 2018 Union Pacific sent a very special treat in the early morning hours. UP 6706 was on point of an empty grain train traveling from Texas to Idaho, with a stopover in Arizona to unload the product. Formerly CNW 8804, the AC44CW is one of the very last remaining engines with the original CNW paint scheme, untouched by the Union Pacific! Along with a friend, we chased this train up the Cajon Pass starting in the Rialto area of the Palmdale Subdivision. After getting on the BNSF at Keenbrooke, the empty grain train headed up the pass and then towards Yermo.
Also included is various BNSF and Union Pacific action along the 3 mainlines of the Cajon Subdivision. Sullivan's Curve located near the middle of the pass is one famous area featured, which offers stunning views as the tracks curve around the rocks and hills of the pass. Got lucky with an awesome train race between the BARWAT and Kaiser Hauler, as well as the Union Pacific North Platte manifest with an awesome consist!
Overall, I only scratched the surface of the amazing Cajon Pass in this video. There's just so many unique and scenic places, the possibilities are endless!
Thanks for watching!

My son is a conductor for BNSF and has been on the San Bernardino to Barstow run many times through the Cajon Pass. Now he's up north in Bakersfield.
Many times! How impressive of your son!
Watching videos from the Cajon Pass makes me homesick! My favorite place to watch trains.
OMG what beautiful landscapes and mighty trains . That Rio Grande loco was just awesome . Australia is a big country but we don’t have this amazing landscape . Cheers from Australia .
Go hip u know what

3:01 - what a legendary shot! Amazing video. Love it!
I live in Maryland and I've been to Cajon 5 times. It's one of the GREAT train watching spots in America not only for the scenery, but for the volume. The 2 trains "racing" each other at 4:28 was spectacular!
I love your enthusiasm and fresh perspective. I've driven over Cajon pass maybe 200+ times, so I'm a bit jaded, but the dirt trails running high over the pass do make for nice views, like the bend with the two trains.

Respect for the Guys keeping that long Iron Snail under Control over such a steep Canyon. The BNSF Trains are amazing, I like the Design and seeing what a long Convoy they pull up and down is awesome. Greetings from Germany where the Trains are way shorter ;)
Amazing video! Stunning images with trains and lovely places and ladscapes! Great catch at 4:30! Good work! Michael! Thumbs Up ;-)
Greetings from Romania

great train video
The Union Pacific comes down the Mojave Subdivision out of Lancaster and Palmdale into Colton Yard. The BNSF comes down the Cajon Subdivision out of Barstow into San Bernardino. The Alhambra and Yuma Subs are Union Pacific. The Yuma Sub comes out of Yuma Arizona to Colton. The Alhambra Sub comes out of Colton to downtown Los Angeles. The San Bernardino Sub is BNSF. It runs from San Bernardino to the Alameda Corridor, and connect to the River Sub via the Redondo Fly Over southeast of downtown Los Angeles.
Great video! Thanks for uploading!
THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO BEAUTIFUL LOCATIONS. LOVED THE ACTION AT SULLIVAN CURVE. IF I LIVED THERE I WOULD STAY AT THIS LOCATION THE WHOLE DAY. NICE JOB

Great video! Brings back sweet memories from my childhood! We used to travel that route (138) every weekend!
The race at Sullivan's Curve at 4:15, now I'm jealous... Lol, awesome content!
4:18 One of the best - if not *the* best - clips I have ever seen of Cajon Pass action. Brilliantly shot and the location is perfect.

Great video! Cajon Pass is awesome. Untouched is a bit a stretch though for UP 6706, with your description I was hoping for a clear C&NW logo still on it.

Awesome shots!
Thank you!
That's the best mix bag video I've seen yet! Rio Grande, huge mixed freight, KCS and CSX! What the hex!? Out here? And a warbonnet to boot and so much more.
Very nice video. Congratulations!!!!
Me gustan much los trenes,Gracia por compartir
Great Video, thanks for sharing
Out class video and wonderful shorts
Impresionante. Muy buen trabajo gracias
Great Video ! Thank you for uploading :-) We visited Los Angeles in May this year, but sadly we had no time time for a trip to the Cajon Pass.
Excellent video!!!!
I remember when we put the patches and renumbered those CNW locomotives
Great video. Thanks
It.s nice vidéo iam SNTF from algeria
Do you know what America needs? More trains!
Superbly shot! Well done...
Being a retired STO in mountain area in PA, I love watching trains on grade being pushed, real railroading.
Very Impressive video of the trains and scenario!
Excellent video.👌🏻
I'am a traindriver on the iron ore line in South Africa, very nice video, thanks

Nice video Michael!
Thanks Rhett!
Amazing video 📸 sir🙏
Watching this in 4K is fabulous. Thanks for the excellent quality you're providing in these videos.
Жаль, что нет комментарий : ...ТТХ тепловозов, веса поездов и уклоны. Что нагрузка от оси тепловозов выше наших с 23-25тдо 32т, а вагонов до 42т это известно, ведь на одной платформе два АБРАМСа, а это-60+60т. Ещё просмотрев несколько видиков Американских ж д, Яне увидел из труб тепловозов даже небольшого дымка зато наши просторы БАМа и др окутаны этим ядовитым чадом. Сейчас наши ж д стали частными, но ничего не изменилось. Без хозяйственно есть и равнодушие никуда не ушли. На руководящих постах по-прежнему безграмотных руководитель. Я всю жизнь с фанатизмом боролся с этой без хозяйстве горстью, вносил массу предложений по улучшению того или иного, даже выступал с докладом в МПС на научно- техническом совете и в итоге эти корумпрованные чиновники пытались меня уволить по 33й статье, а потом когда не получилось, хотели уволить по не доверию коллектива депо Н.Ургал БАМ ж д. Сейчас я более 20 лет на пенсии, но с со драганием смотрю, что ничего не изменилось в лутщую сторону и таких как я вообще не держат и профсоюзах как раньше были не стало
Sensacional guerreiros!! 👏👏
4:30 Best shot
very nice. been there once it was very cool...
Really Really good !!!!!!!!
Sehr schön gefällt mir.

Great shots at 4:29! I was so hoping that someone had a video from Sullivan's curve of that race. That ex CNW engine must have gone through before I showed up. Either way, great day for railfanning.
Thank you, that was one epic race indeed. The CNW shots were actually from January.
Great Cinema and sound is superb

Nice video Michael The Train At 10:55 Was The Daygo
Lovely Video .
Beautiful scenery!
American freight trains are king of the cargo transportation in United States of America!
É um Baita dum trem vou voltar aqui parabéns 👀
Nice catch with the patched out ex Santa Fe SD75.
Got to love the irony of a former Santa Fe (then later in life) former BNSF SD75M that was sold off to Progressive Rail Leasing ending up under lease operating right back on the same trackage it was sold off from. Go figure...
Michael loves trains -4k video
Me-Watching in 720p due to poor connection
Great work... Almost like a ballet in some later parts!
Great video. What camera did you use?
ME ENCANTO MUCHO EL VIDEO DE L TREN
I love the two trains in the same shot. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Wow, Awesome video! I used to wonder how's the track terrain looked like from the I5, now I know!
Actually cajon pass is northeast of LA.
I've driven that pass hundreds of times in a big truck, both northbound & southbound.
Don't forget, that pass is also the site of a very deadly train crash many years ago.
Just discovered your Channel. Fantastic Videos, makes our Freight Trains in UK look pathetic, lucky to get more than 25 cars on ours & rarely a double-header. ROGER 😎 UK 🇬🇧
Nice video.
Is Conrail?
Conrail is long gone
I see that long train being pulled up that grade with just a few locomotives, around those bends, and I don't know how it is possible!
Two in front, two behind.
Great video with great locations. Love to see the American countryside as well. All the best.Mick U.K.
Wonderful my brother. Thanks
When there's more than one engine on the train how do they decide which one is in front and how do they control all of the functions of all of the engines
Thanks Michael. I've sat in Cajon pass close to the tracks watching trains go by. Some may think it's silly, but I enjoy it as you do. Appreciate the footage!
If I ever get to visit the USA, Cajon is going to be on my list before the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone lol. Just out of curiosity, are the BNSF trains on Sullivans Curve (4:18) east or west bound? Super video btw.
afl steve
Westbound
I love bnsf trains
Big Ups to you Mike! great Vid!!!! love it!
I eye ud
New Metrolink's 10/Victor Valley Line Extension will be second proposed route line a mainline SCRRA track of the commuter trains is coming soon in 2027 or 2028.
Beautifull Chanal Very Nice

Great People too.

Nice 👏
Great camera positions but where are all the double-stacks?
P
what camera is that
Please, the name of the film. The plot is: A long freight train running through the frame of film. A woman and a man couldn't hear each other because of the noise. They are standing the opposite sides of the moving long freight train. Probable years of production: 70-80s, the guy had a car. These scene is in the end of the film. Please, help with the title. Thanks
These trains and routes exclusive for freights fascinating
This gives me anxiety because so many trains derailed here
I ki
I like so much the scene of train
Such great RR action. Here in the PNW it is all pumpkins and armor yellow. Pretty boring. Love seeing the variety from road names past, especially the warbonnets.
how do they run the "pusher" engine remotely? . ive seen times when they had a front middle and engine at the rear
Ôi quá tuyệt vời xịn cám ơn ban Nha
I also love trains
Michael loves his trains!
Wow nice video
