Western where is it-Speed round

I like Chris’s idea. Lets do a western speed round.

Who will be the quickest to name all these locations?

Nice photos, and I have no clue. Do I win a prize for being clueless first?[xx(]

OK, You get honorable mention for quickest to post. How’s that?

#1 looks possibly like Barstow, and #2 strongly resembles Cajon- possibly just past the summit on the north side. #3 and #4 I have no clue.

I will guess (1) Barstow, (2) Tehacappi, (3) somewhere in Utah, (4) West Colton yard. How did I do?

Brian, 1 right

Jim, 2 right

BTW- All but 1 are repeats.

That’s OK , I suffer from CRS myself.[;)]

I guess this “speed round” is not so speedy after all.

Murphy_Siding · September 12, 2006, 2:39pm

Try posting pictures of yards, including the signs. I’m sure that would go fairly quickly.[;)]

2 right

I would say 3 but I was looking for the location on Cajon

3 right

Four is Dolores Yard at Alameda and I-405 in Carson, CA. By the way, Merced has no train yard.

That’s correct.
