Greetings, Ryan!

Nice photo work.

Where did those bi-levels come from?  Were they old BN commuter cars from Chicago?

And, was the rear power DPU'ed to the front, or was it just trailing for the ride?

Best,

K.P.

BNSF 2011 Christmas Train~ Cajon Pass
Posted by Cajon_92 on Monday, December 19, 2011 5:41 PM

Went over to Cajon Pass last Saturday (12/17/2011) to catch BNSF's City of Hope Christmas train on the first of two trips up Cajon Pass. The special would be making two round trips from San Bernardino to Cajon Summit and return. The special was powered by a pair of clean ES44C4's (6715 & 6686) one on each end of 7 business cars. Was a classy operation as always, and great to see BNSF continuing to run this train. Yesterday the train did the City of Hope run over to Duarte, CA and today is making another run over Cajon up to Victorville and Barstow.
