Barstow And Hesperia

Before the train trip ends up in too far into the rearview mirror, I wanted to post the two pictures I managed to screen capture, of our journey.

The first one is us at Barstow, standing by the camera and waving.

It was a little late, but not too late and so we could climb out of the train for a minute or so. If it had been much later, we would have gone to bed.

The second one was much harder to capture. Hesperia is in a dead zone, Internet-wise.

I did manage to screen capture the lead engine's number, and that was important to me. We did not have much luck getting to the front of the engine to take photos.

We were a bit late at that point, due to rail congestion in the Needles area. We got much later, before Riverside, due to a trespasser incident.

Such is life on the rails.
