El Casco, CA

Although it is no longer a marked location on the Union Pacific's Yuma Subdivision, El Casco is still home to a set out (spur) track, a greaser, and a set of Intermediate signals.

 

Here Union Pacific 7456 leads the MFWWCX 13 downhill.The train is using heavy dynamic brakes to keep the 7000 foot/8500 ton train under control through, San Timoteo Canyon with the San Gorgonio Mountains providing an excellent backdrop on a nice winter day.
