What does LA&SL stand for? I don't think that I've ever heard of that railroad company before, Colton sounds like a great area to watch the trains go by, I would like to visit the San Bernardino area and watch the trains go by, is Daggett east of Barstow? I do hear that Stockton is a really good place to go railfanning and parts of Central California, which line do you recommend to go railfanning between the UP or the BNSF lines?
