On the weekend before Amtrak took over psgr trains I took my two boys for a camping/railfanning trip to Cajon and Tehachapi. As we were approaching Mojave southbound there was an SP train standing on the double track. Since we'd just passed a Santa Fe train I thought I'd stop and get some sequence shots of the passing. Only they didn't pass, they met. The Santa Fe train knocked over the SP caboose and the last two or three cars of the train. My younger son was asleep in the back of the rig but my elder son had been watching through binoculars. I looked over to ask if he'd seen that and his slack jaw and saucer eyes told it all. When I got the slides processed you could make out the SP brakeman doing the high hurdles over the sagebrush and the ATSF and SP clearly demonstrating Newton's law about only one piece of matter occupying a given space at the same time Reply anb740 Member sinceSeptember 2004 From: (Milepost S256.0; NS Griffin District) 226 posts Posted by anb740 on Thursday, April 7, 2005 11:35 PM QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard Did anyone notice the third NS unit?
