Am I correct (?) is this a southbound move from the Bieber line?
That is correct.
Quinten, Thanks for the kind words about the photo.
Diningcar, you are correct. This train is coming off the South (RR West) end of BNSF's Gateway Subdivision. It is headed towards Stockton, and eventually Southern California.
Oddly enough, Google Earth Street View has been through there on the highway and has some pretty good views of the wye, unfortunately unoccupied. That was a bit of a surprise.

It certainly reminds of older, black & white images. The locomotive was not built by Lima. The tanks are not "Shermans." Helping to preserve, protect and defend remains the same.
I remember once with my parents, riding a car and scaling a UP military train along the "new line" in Lake Forest on 41.

On Google Earth Street View east of Quincy CA on CAL-70, when you get to the Williams Loop, there is a westbound stacker on the loop when they go by. Also, a lot of snow on the ground.
