This is the BNSF Cajon Sub. We see both BNSF and Union Pacific trains since UP has trackage rights over the pass. This is a busy line, with cargo in and out of Los Angeles and its ports. In Part 1 of this 4 part series, we cover eastbound traffic between San Bernardino and Alray.

*About this show:* From the great San Bernardino Valley to the high desert community of Barstow lies one of the busiest and most scenic mainlines in the country. At just over 81 miles in length, the BNSF Cajon Sub is a powerful artery that plays an integral role in moving trains to and from Southern California.
With its stiff climb over Cajon Pass, endless flow of traffic, and vistas of stark beauty, the Cajon Sub is a place of limitless photo opportunities for railroad photographers. Over 5 years Pentrex visited the sub numerous time, so we'll see the pass in all weather.
This is part 1 of a 4 part series. This video take a look at eastbound traffic between San Bernardino and Alray on Cajon Pass.
Across the four parts of this special series , we see over 500 trains!
