On August 11th, 2013, BNSF Railway train M-BARSDG1-11A makes its way down Metrolinks Olive Subdivision on its way from Barstow to San Diego. This track is the cutoff between the BNSFs Transcon mainline (connecting Los Angeles to Chicago) and Metrolinks Orange Sub (which is the old Santa Fe Fourth Sub from Fullerton to San Diego). The train, led by ES44C4 6975, is about to cross the intersection of Glassell, Orange-Olive (the street parallel to the track) and Taft - a complicated confluence of three streets and the railroad! |
