- One of the most dangerous mountain grades on the Union Pacific is Cima Hill. Located in California's Mojave Desert, this short, steep hill has had a long history of runaway trains.

In the late 70s, my signal gang was the last m of w crew to live at Kelso while extending sidings and respacing signals on the hill. I highly recommend visiting the depot museum for a glimpse of remote desert railroading. There was once a roundhouse and "Y" for turning helpers during the steam years. An antenna on top of the 300 ft water towers was aimed at a metal screen reflector on the mountains to bring in TV from Las Vegas for the section crews and maintainers houses that were across the tracks from the depot.
Kelso station is truly a jewel in the desert! I actually ate in the Lunch Room when it was still active… great shots!

Nice video! Beautiful desert areas!
Great video. I don't think folks realize just how busy this line from Salt Lake to LA can be.
Another awesome train video. When I lived in La I would go to Vegas a lot LOL. But I like to go through Kelso because it was such a beautiful drive and I always stop that train station for a break. I love to watch the trains go by love your channel thank you sir.
Brilliant footage and very informative, especially to those not in the US (that would include me) 👍

Union Pacific is one of my favorite Railway companies. Keep up the great work.
Awesome video, always enjoy some great desert railroading action!
That crazy 140 MPH derailment would of been crazy to see on film.
I like train videos on RUclips 👍
Another fantastic video
Continually great work!
This is a fantastic video and commentary. I've subscribed!
Nice photography. Regrettably we can no longer ride Amtrak’s Desert Wind which rolled down these tracks. What sad mistake to discontinue that train.
Great video and informative narration done by a real human👍🏼👍🏼😄
I'm sure you're aware of Thornapple railroad videos. They were among my favorites. You have now Eclipse that. Most excellent photography and narration!!
Awesome work, per usual
