I love how my favorite unit 461 was leading the train that got into Fullerton at 10:10 on 10/10/10! =]

[UnionPacific18]

@penguingeneral2 Thats so awesome!

[CaliforniaRailfan101]

Nice shot of the private cars on the end of the Southwest Chief! Is Fullerton a good place for freight action?

[UnionPacific18]

@CaliforniaRailfan101 Thanks! o ya! plenty!

[Michaellovestrains]

Nice!! I have never been railfanning in Fullerton, but it's a awesome place!

[UnionPacific18]

@Michaellovestrains It most certainly is!

[UnionPacific18]

@sethamtrak haha maybe or they just don't have the track idk.

[sethamtrak]

@UnionPacific18 looks like amtrak's to lazy to turn them around!

[UnionPacific18]

@sethamtrak I honestly don't know, those cars were hooked up to the Chief in San Bernadino CA and I guess thats just the way they were facing.

[sethamtrak]

why was the tioga pass faced inwards?
