Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey blue unit- SLVPX 21

On Monday I caught the RB&B&B circus train working east to Phoenix, AZ from Las Vegas, NV (SLVPX 21). I caught this train out on UP's Cima Sub & chased it until the sun set around Helendale on the eastern end of the Cajon Sub. Below is a picture of the impressive 61 car train climbing the Cima grade into Kelso, CA. Also is a link to my photobucket & the rest of the days shots.

 The RBBX trains always seem impossibly long.  I appreciate the HEP car which has two huge generators in it.  It's really quite an impressive train.
