Yes now that the UPRR has limited access to the NW portion of the diamond the only public area is on the SE side of the diamond. The best sun in the back thingy at that spot is the early AM hours so when I am in Calif I usually spend those hours there until around midday when the sun position becomes unfavorable at least for me to shot from that location so all those recent videos I posted from the Colton diamond were shot the same day between say 0800 & 1200 hours Smile

Nice video.  I assume this and the BNSF baretable were shot at roughly the same time?

I noticed the BNSF train was all GE powered and the UP train was all EMD powered.
