Does anyone know what time the 3985 will pass through Cajon Pass coming into Los Angeles on Sunday August 6?
Also, which route will it take? The entire UP line, or will it switch to the SP line at Colton and continue west? (Since SP is now UP, I figure that UP now has a choice as to which lines to use into LA after traversing Cajon Pass). http://www.uprr.com/uprr/ffh/excurs/steamtr.shtml

Hello, just went yesterday on Sunday to see the 3985. It appeared to be on time, passed by Cajon at around 12 pm. Lots of freight traffic around there, coming up the pass on I-15, I spotted at least three freights on the same track, quite close to each other waiting for the 3985 to pass. Returns on Sunday the 20th from LA at 8 am, should be around Cajon sometime from 11 to 12.

I was in Vegas and watched 3985 pass from the parking garage of the Rio. Great view point. Then chased her for 30 miles down I-15. I've seen her a number of times including RailFair last year but have never seen her at speed - what a sight. Don't miss it if you get a chance.
