As the last glow of sun rises over the western horizon, one of BNSF's Willow Springs, IL to Los Angeles, CA UPS trains begins it all night journey to across the Mojave Desert and into the Los Angeles. With these high priority trains making better time than most trains along the route, the crews will take the train from Needles to the yard in Los Angeles. Usually, Needle crews will run only to Barstow.
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!)
