The engineer must have noticed my parked car as he gave a long toot! See how dusty it is?

Train a comin'!
I took a side road on the way home from Whitewater Saturday. I wanted to see if any trains were on the tracks and yes, indeed...I spotted one moving the opposite direction and then one coming toward me. It was extremely windy, but I wanted to drive out through Windy Point (Highway 111 on the way to Palm Springs), since I hadn't been on that road....let's see...for YEARS! Here are some photos of the train. You can see how dusty and cloudy it was behind the train. The entire valley was covered with dust from the wind! Later that day, all the roads across the wash were closed, due to blowing sand and dust.

Really liked the train photos. The dust is everywhere, like fog. Always nice when the train conductor acknowledges us.
ReplyDeleteTrains, like airplanes always seem to catch my eye.....
ReplyDeletenice pics! i use to love to photograph our local trains when I would be in the area - whether they were coming in to the station in Claremont or UPland - or going through the area around the Mormon rocks up in Wrightwood. I never got a toot though... so there tootsie.
ReplyDeleteSandy, I was quite shocked to hear the toot! Maybe the engineer was bored? Probably was excited to see a car parked and me taking photos! Must have been a slow day!
