Cars often make a banging sound if there is a flat space on one of their wheels.

Great video and location, btw, what does z train mean?

[singwith]

Thanks! "Z" means UPS or Expedited intermodal.

[The40MAC]

Great catch

snuffy. Are SD90MAC's on this route making rare appearances going Eastbound most of the time this year as this is the 2nd I am seeing this year, but from you:P

[MarkConductor775]

They're rare on the coast.

[singwith]

Thanks. SD90MAC is rare but i saw two of them yesterday!

[The40MAC]

Yea all leading this time and not in coal or heavy service:D

[The40MAC]

And wait a minute going all the way to City of Industry running long hood forward is a bonus rare scene:)

Nice one snuffy!! I would like to go to the City of Industry yard. Looks like a nice place

[MarkConductor775]

That isn't Industry, though.

[slug96]

i know its just I seen photos and videos of the place so I brought it up....

[MarkConductor775]

Industry's...okay. Colton's the place to be.

[slug96]

I was at west colton 2 weeks ago

[singwith]

I think WC is better place to watch trains. you should go to BNSF Commerce. I like there over fullerton.

[MarkConductor775]

What about all that good stuff down by the ports?

[slug96]

I live by the ports and there's isn't a lot of good action. to much RR police and Homeland.(I got in trouble by both)....mostly everything is slow...no passenger.PHL,UPY,UP, and BNSF

[MarkConductor775]

Try...Oakland, if ya ever get around to it. Cajon and Tehachapi are THE stuff...

Local...local...hmmm...Barstow­?

Beaumont Hill's cool too.

[slug96]

I been almost every where....from up and down the surf line. cajon to barstow. Tehachapi, between Barstow and Flagstaff AZ. I still havnt been to moorpark and that area. I am soon. I want to go to Oakland and railfan!

[MarkConductor775]

What about...Beaumont Hill?

[Espeelover]

Beaumont Hill is much more south as to where the places he is speaking of is more North of Beaumont.

[MarkConductor775]

I know my geography...lol

[slug96]

ya I been to commerce I like it there! only if it was little better station.
