Awesome video! Coincidentally, on the day I was watching DVD copies of The Kearney Sub and Union Pacific’s Cima Sub respectively for the first time was when these two were uploaded to here, how about that! 😂😅
Very cool video of desert trains! I grew up and lived in the So Cal desert! It’s nice to see my ol fave UP! I now reside in Georgia and rarely see them! Usually it’s NS and a few CSX!
Cima Sub today. from Barstow to Vegas this line sees everything and it hauls our economy from Long Beach to the rest of the nation and it is the only link between the ports and Terminal Yard in Salt Lake. East of here is the Caliente Sub and the Lynndyl, Sharp/Lemington, and Shafter Subdivisions. Welcome to Part 1 of the San Pedo and Salt Lake The Cima Sub.
Great video, as usual. You did miss Boulder Jct., a historic branch originally to the construction of Hoover Dam, the henderson end of the branch, starting at the I 11, US 95 overpass, owned by the city and operatedby UPRR. Also the Basic Magnesium facility, and the Nevada Southern from railroad pass to Boulder City, operated by Southern Nevada Railroad Museum, using ex UP844, the GP35 that caused steam UP844, to be renumbered UP8444. I was the signal gang foreman when the division went thru siding lenghtening during the late 1970s, and my crew was one of the last MofW crews to stay at Kelso, eating at the "beanery". During the steam era, there was a Y , round house and turntable located east of town, on the south side. The water tank feeds miles of pipe to water the salt cedar trees li ing the tracks west of town.
Thanks for a great video - brought back a lot of memories of when I chased trains over parts of the Cima Subdivision and BNSF's Needles Subdivision. When I visited the States for the first time fell in love with the Mojave and on my second trip just had to revisit. Charlie from Canberra
I remember weekend before superbowl was driving home from Las Vegas and off in the distance as we drove we watched the UP business train rolling threw the cima towards Vegas wish I could of got a shot of it. 🤦🏻♂️
Cave Mountain is the only interesting thing between Yermo and Baker. Everytime I drive by I glance over and try to map out an imaginary route to the top. Maybe one day.
They are for mileage. The number of stripes indicate a quarter mile a pole with one stripe meaning a 1/4 mile, a pole with two stripes equals a 1/2 a mile, 3 stripes equals 3/4 of a mile, and 4 stripes equals. At 1:04:40 you can see a pole with four stripes and numbers placard

It's a good day when Aaron uploads😊
He’s back!

good stuff. I live in Las Vegas. This answered many lingering questions.
Wonderful camera work as always!! Thank you 7idea!
Clever cross fade at 41:43 to 41:46.
Great videos! Great production quality...Love how you add the local history too👍🙌
Thank you for another great video. You always knock it out of the park!
Love to see it. Thanks for the great narrations and the historical background as well as the views and sounds.

Is there a video of Milford to Salt Lake City? Or Southern Idaho including the Eastern Idaho Railroad?
Wonderful video!🚂🚂
at the 8:00 mark, UP 9807 is a C44-9W. After 20+ years, still pulling her weight and earning her keep. I have that loco in HO Scale
The video was originally published to DVD in 2018, sadly most of the older locomotives shown in this video are in deadlines or sold.

Obviously, CSX locomotives operated by Union Pacific crew.
Ah yes, The Ro-Scale N&A3 Moment
Has a train ever been derailed by a remote control unit pushing too hard or dragging?
Any idea how they prevent thermal misalignment in those temperatures?
This is the best video I’ve ever watched
Good job, how did the accident at Dawes happen?
I don't know why but through some trick of perspective those railroad bridges always look like a model train set to me.
Cave Mountain is the only interesting thing between Yermo and Baker. Everytime I drive by I glance over and try to map out an imaginary route to the top. Maybe one day.
Superb keep them coming!
That's a great train video. It's amazing to me how they can push a button in Iowa and it turns a rail switcher in California.
As usual, superb photography and scene framing, lighting and composition. Aaron does it again! KUDOS
Clever cross fade at 41:43 to 41:46.
Top Notch Work 👌
Another outstanding video!
16:11 What's the purpose of the short poles with horizontal white stripes?
They are for mileage. The number of stripes indicate a quarter mile a pole with one stripe meaning a 1/4 mile, a pole with two stripes equals a 1/2 a mile, 3 stripes equals 3/4 of a mile, and 4 stripes equals. At 1:04:40 you can see a pole with four stripes and numbers placard
Mile post markers on old pole line.
TOP.
👍
