morning freight trains at the Frost crossovers - Victorville, California

 

"Besides the famous Cajon Pass, the Frost Crossovers are one of the more unique places along the BNSF Cajon Subdivision, which runs between San Bernardino and Barstow, California. 

"The Frost Crossovers are located between the cities of Victorville and Hesperia, and provide a unique flashback look at former left hand railroad operation. Constructed in the early 1900's, the crossovers were designed to provide easier grades for trains climbing and descending the Cajon Pass. A hill lies on the Southern end of the crossovers, providing a great vantage point from above to watch the action along the busy BNSF Southern Transcon. 

"Unfortunately, this vantage point will soon be history, as a road project is proposed to run directly through the hill. In this video, you'll see some busy Union Pacific and BNSF freight action on a beautiful Winter morning at the Frost Crossovers."
