Title:  BNSF 6686
Description:  Lunch is just about over, and the second load of children will shortly be loaded on BNSF Railways annual Southern California Christmas Train - and the sun popped out! So a few of us hopped off and headed to the west end to photograph ES44C4 6686, festooned with holiday finery for these trips. Sister ES44C4 6715 is coupled to the other end of this seven-car train, so that reversing at Cajon Pass Summit is a simple matter. Photos taken, it was time to head back to the train, just before the first passengers arrived.

Title:  BNSF 6715
Description:  The large cut that the BNSF Railways Southern California Christmas Train is about to pass was, until 2007, the western-most of the two tunnels at Alray on Cajon Pass. The tunnels were removed when this portion of the line was double-tracked (adding a third mainline to BNSFs busy crossing of this pass). When our train reached Summit, where all three mains are together again, the Christmas Train held the center main (where we would reverse direction) while another eastbound passed on our left and a westbound passed on our right. What a thrill it was to be on the business cars open platform for that!

Description:  As dawn breaks in the east, volunteers are already well underway preparing for a busy day on the roads annual Southern California Christmas Train. Snacks need to be stocked in the three cars that will be carrying local disadvantaged children, decorations adjusted and lit, balloons inflated for the balloon sculpters, costumes donned, sound systems readied, goodie bags prepared (BNSF teddy bears!) and, of course, all the standard railroad safety checks performed.

And the entire process will be repeated in the afternoon on this December 17, 2011. Everyone riding the train today will leave with a smile - including the crew!

BNSF 6686
Title:  BNSF 6686
Description:  Just after sunup, a rainbow appeared - a positive omen for the days trip to Duarte to pick up a load of children from the City of Hope Hospital. BNSF Railway ES44C4 6686 will be the trailing unit on the westbound runs, and ES44C4 6715 will lead, with the engines trading duties for the eastbound runs. This BNSF Christmas Train would be the final train to operate to Duarte. In fact, a bumper needed to be removed in order to this train to get that far west, along with flagging a grade crossing that had already had its gate removed. Having ridden this line several times on Santa Fes "Chief," and later on Amtraks "Southwest Limited," and I was happy to be on the very last passenger movement on that particular line on December 18th, 2011 – even if I was dressed as a chipmunk most of the trip. (Note that the line remains in service for local freights to Irwindale, and it is only the short stretch from Irwindale to Duarte that will be removed for the MTA Gold Line extension in the coming years.)
