UP Mixed Merchandise Running Downgrade, Cajon Pass, California.

The shot that everyone wants of course is a train on UP rails and one the BNSF tracks at the same time. I have been close to capturing this image on a couple of occasions but never achieved it. In glorious light, a Union Pacific Manifest runs downgrade with 8225 in charge. 4919 sits behind the lead loco followed by 6257, still in Southern Pacific livery, with 1681, an SD40-2 bringing up the rear.
