QUOTE: Originally posted by K. P. Harrier Security forces have placed a trailer strategically at the railroad east end of the old Cajon siding, with the Cajon crossovers, Sullivan’s Curve, and stopped westbound trains on both tracks apparently all in view. This area by the freeway is now swarming with private security guards in patrol vehicles. This is in addition to the traditional surveillance at the Summit crossovers, some six to eight railroad miles up “The Hill.” Basically that area is off limits to rail buffs except for the highway. With the new Cajon security area, as I understand it, except for the railroad right-of-way itself, most land is accessible and used often by campers, hunters, hikers, etc. Of course, with the presence of security forces, it actually makes the whole area more secure for everyone.

QUOTE: Originally posted by Clemente Last time I was there, the forest service road that parallels I-15 from Cajon Junction up to Alray was open. Dirt bikers were still camping out under the Palmdale Cutoff bridge. Some of the roads poking up into the tracks had Area Closed signs. Better get your shots of the tunnels now. There's talk of daylighting them when BNSF adds their third main between Cajon and Summit. The overlook along Hwy138 at Summit was open, but the road to the tracks at Summit is gated and guarded. Drove all the access roads from Hiland to Sullivan's Curve with no problems. Crews waved. Nobody reported me on the radio. Security at Cajon sounds like an extension of what's at Summit, keeping an eye on westbounds that stop to let something else run around or cross over at Cajon. It'll really suck if they build a mile and a half of fence and floodlights up into Sullivan's Curve like they did east of Summit.
