A Saturday with Uncle Pete in California

Spent a Saturday with Uncle Pete, who could seem to make up his mind, LA Sub or Alhambra Sub for most of the day (basically, whichever I was near, he chose the other). Still managed to grab some shots in the Southern California sunshine.

Eastbound stacks at Rowland Heights come to a stop to grab breakfast at the Jack in the Box.

Stacks wait at Pedley, under Mount Baldy, to gain access to the BNSF.

and closer - somehow this train beat me to the Santa Ana River Viaduct even though he was at a dead stop when I left here.

An SD60M leads a stack train by the Southern Pacific/Pacific Electric depot in Colton, also under Mount Baldy.

The stacks from Rowland Heights appear at Grand Terrace, heading over the BNSF's much more utilitarean Santa Ana River Bridge.

The triops lead stacks I caught in Colton also enter the Santa Ana River Bridge.

And finally, a ballast train heads east from Sierra in Fontana, with a view behind it of, you guessed it, Mount Baldy.

Corrections are welcome, and thank you for looking.
