It's 988 miles by rail to San Francisco as UP IDULB heads west under the cantilever guarding the east end of the yard in Tuscon. The IDULB won't go all the way up to the bay, instead terminating at Long Beach with the domestic traffic heading to East Los Angeles. Nonetheless, the train still has to contend with the heat of the Sonoran Desert, the 2% climb up Beaumont Hill, and the congestion of the LA basin before they make it there. Tuscon still hosts some signals from the SP-UP transition era in the form of these tri-light target signals from the 1990s, but the cantilever this is mounted on is likely much older.

These two were taken on a movie set outside of Tuscon, and just had to have an "old photo" treatment.

Just because the sewer pipes are above ground, a suspicious "deal" is going down just down the street, and gratuitous furniture infected with who know's what is strewn about, aren't good reasons that life sux. :-)
I recently spent a few days in Tucson hoping to chase some storms. As it turned out, this is as close to a storm as I got.
