Western Railroad Discussion > Trona Railway Rock-n-RollinDate: 05/19/15 20:40 Trona Railway Rock-n-Rollin Author: gjc This is day three of a three day railfan trip with TO member Cajon92. We had originally planned to spend all three days at Tehachapi Pass, CA. With a work window, wind and clouds at Tehachapi around 8am we decided to head towards the desert. Our first stop was Boron. CA. Around 11am we headed over to Trona, CA. We arrived at Trona about noon, but the outbound train to Searles didn't leave the plant until 2:50pm. We ended up catching the train at five different locations, three on the way to Searles (Westend, east of Pinnacles and east of Garden City), once when it was leaving Searles and one last time at Pinnacles. Not bad for my first time out there. This video was taken about 3pm at Westend on 5/18/15.

It was a fun day for sure getting to rock 'n roll with the Trona Road. Looking forward to more from the trip. ~Ryan Date: 05/20/15 06:01 Re: Trona Railway Rock-n-Rollin Author: 3rdswitch Great vid, looks like they need to spend some money on track work ;-)
