I got one. <br /> While my father (also a railfan) was visiting me in LA, we decided to railfan north to Mojave. We decided on the way to try and catch the Trona interchange with the SP. This was back when Trona was Baldwin powered, and we already knew the Baldwins days were numbered. We hung around Mojave till we heard on the scanner that the show was about to begin. Then we drove to the interchange (I can't remember, was it Chafee?) where the Trona ended along what was left of the Lone Pine branch. We basicaly followed the SP line from Mojave. This required following about 25-30 miles of dirt road. We arrived and got out our gear, and set up for our shots. I started hearing a hissing sound. We discovered that I had a slow leak in one of my tires. We knew the Trona would be there soon. We also could tell that if we didn't head for town immediately the tire wouldn't make it (No spare, that's rare for me). What a delema. I considered staying and sacrificing the rim/tire in the name of Baldwin, but common sense got the best of me. To this day I have never seen a running Baldwin. Trona's were gone a month later. <br />This is one of my biggest railfan bummers. <br />
