The full length (7061 feet and 6966 tons) of BNSF train Q-NYCLAC1-01A (Guaranteed Service Intermodal; New York NY - Los Angeles CA) is visible as it grinds through Ash Hill, California (named for all the volcanic rock strewn about this area) on February 3rd, 2014. As the assembled railfans waited for the train, led by Norfolk Southern's Pennsylvania Railroad Heritage unit, concerns grew as an eastbound auto train V-SDGCLO1-01A slowly approached on the near track. Fortunately for the fans, the westbound got there before the eastbound!
