Missed this one, great shots ;)
This Amtrack California Commuter Train is stopped in it's tracks because of an engine fire. The Diesel engine was shut down. The train will have to be towed back to Los Angeles for repairs. All Passengers were ordered of the train and walked back to the Sorrento Valley Coaster Station to wait for the next train. The Coaster station is about 2 city blocks from where the train stopped.
In the 3rd pic, the 2 white pickup trucks are BNSF railroad personel to check for damage to the tracks or to the train.
>:D
Here is Walter Elas Disneys personal cabin, he has a bunch of neat stuff inside that cabin.
That place is sick! Where is that?!
Here's one from Tehachapi :)

WoW! you were pretty close Jim... :o ;)
Cool shot btw... <thumbsup>
Thanks! about ten feet from the track. I always give a wave to the engineer in such a situation and give them a wave of the camera before laying down for a low angle shot so they don't worry about my motives. ;)
Great shots everybody! <thumbup> I like the little change of pace here. Jim, I'm digging the low angle on that Tehachapi shot...very well done ;)
These BNSF locomotives are typical fare for me, as the tracks are about 30 feet away from my backyard wall. One of the very first shots from my 70-200 lens and I highly credit it to the contraction of my L-disease <laughing>
Thanks! That BNSF is clear as a bell!

Thanks! :)
Despite the Station Fire, the Metrolink was still running today thru Soledad Canyon
Nice background, Alan. ;)

Yes, I am loving that background. The train almost looks like a model set.

How about an EMD GP40P-2 of the Portland & Western Railroad?

The engines look nice, but the tracks look to be very well used.
Took advantage of some Cajon Pass snow to head out and grab some train shots. (Always have loved trains, but never shot them). Had a fun train come through, points to whoever can guess what it was. ;)

That first shot is one of the best train shots I've seen.
Hey Nate, That train is hauling Army Strykers. WAAAY COOOL MAN!!! I wonder where it is headed to. I'm guessing Ft. Irwin.

Yep, I thought it was pretty sweet. The train was southbound though, we had a local tell us they were brand new off the assembly line headed to be shipped overseas (can't confirm). Here's a detail shot of the Strykers... Pair of Mobile Gun System Strykers, a Mortar Vehicle and Medic Vehicle Stryker:

Great shots!
@kick Z tail out: Great shots from your snow day in Cajon, and nice catch with the military train.
I didn't know there was a thread about trains. Here are a couple of images from my commutes to work this week.
