This is a very good video.  The eastward journey starts in the Los Angeles area on the San Bernardino Sub and continues over the Cajon Sub and into the western part of the Needles Sub.  Our journey ends at Cadiz, CA.  This route sees 100 trains a day!

Points of interest along the way include Fullerton, San Bernardino, Cajon Pass, Barstow, Ash Hill, Siberia, and sections of old Route 66.  The desert scenery is great and the train action is plentiful.

The producer uses Google Earth to show the viewer the route and the topography that will be encountered.  The video was shot in wide screen format and the image quality is very good.  It looks like RailTrek Media is going to be a reliable producer of railroad videos.  This is my third video of theirs and they have all been good ones.

This one should be in your collection.
