- Here's a video of the end of Union Pacific Riverside local. This is the last run to Riverside California by Union Pacific and This job now handed to BNSF(San Jacinto local) in Riverside, California. (I believe it's still running by UP in Colton street running section including Wig Wag RR crossing in Colton, CA.)
FYI, Once UP Riverside Branch was a Pacific Electric trolley/Southern Pacific/UP line from Corona - Riverside to Colton - Rialto, CA.
Snuffy, GREAT rail video here! I don't know how I missed it when you posted it oh so long ago, but a truly wonderful video of a very historic event. Uncelebrated, no fanfare, there it went, into the history books! THANK YOU so much for capturing it on video, and sharing it with the world!
All Geep's with Southern Pacific heritage, great catch!
The SANJAC is based out of San Berdoo. And all of the searchlight signals are gone, check out my video of the construction in December, look for Riverside Diamond Construction Project Update. Also Metrolink put in what looks to be a PBX repeater at the northeastern corner of the old diamond.
Great video. I think I was the first person to take video of BNSF on that spur, way back in November, but since they gave me a ride I can't post it... Great video!
I can tel the first and third diesels were once Southern Pacific with the missing mars and warning lights on the nose and its rear lights,, thanks for uploading this video!!
Another good catch Snuffy!
Super video! Love that diamond cross and street running :).
Trains are amazing! Always fascinated by the machines and infrastructure. Biggest regret I have was not taking a job with UP or Santa Fe when they recruited me out of college. AT 21, what the hell did I know????
Thank you for your response, this is a learning expirence for me. Trying to learn as much as I can. So thank you Texas Railfan,and Mapexmac
super video, good job !!!
Very nice and interesting video! :)
Looks like UP 570 is an ex Espee unit, judging by the voids where the light packages were and also the "staggered chime" Nathan P3.
Great video Snuffy! I believe 1427's horn is a Lesile RS3L.
Since your video, they took out the 215 overpass so South on this line from Barton Rd, nothing but track. No industries have spurs any more. BNSF catches everything South of Main St.
I like the old oil house, converted to a telephone room.
great video
I guess we can blame the black cat for having this local come to an end, because as the theory says black cats are bad luck and seems like it did so for the Riverside Local. Glad you were able to get her on her last trip while it lasted. Nice catch Snuffy
this is such a great video, still wish that the street running portion of the line still existed and the wig wags were still there, i would of checked this out if i was older or it still existed
I just happened to visit that UP-BNSF diamond last April before they started the work out there. It's incredible that it was still protected by four H1 Searchlight Signals! Did any survive the track changes there? Also, is the San Jacinto local based out of Barstow or San Bernardino?
These locomotives have the remote control system?... nice video
When did the BNSF officially take the branch over? Where do they connect? I take it they use UP trackage rights to get to the branch, since the only place the lines cross is at the SANJAC. Is the street running in Colton still active? Thanks!
We never seem to get the whole story.
The railroad company excavated the street running track within a short period of time after this video was shot, ( near M Street in Colton, California). A fly-over was built near the Interstate 10 Freeway and ended the existence of a historic
railroad diamond, there. The diamond was put in place in 1883. The so-called "Colton Crossing" was a point of contention at that time with citizens of San Bernardino and Colton ready to fight for their respective town's interests over railroad company right-of-way. Southern Pacific Railroad hired
famous lawman, VIRGIL EARP, to protect its interests during that stand-off.
Most of the P.E tracks that were operated by UP after p.e was not in service is now owned by Bnsf sadly which it’s pretty stupid of UP. And a major grab for BNSF. The LOA36R use to serve Cargill the oil Plant but not anymore because it’s hard down to BNSF la mirada
Nice piece of history unfortunately ending. Street running is probaly what made it's demise. People today can't coexist with a train on their street because they are such stupid drivers.
i was looking on google maps, and this line is been removed by either up, bnsf, or most likely metrolink. Sad to see a big piece of history gone. All the crossings are gone. All the tracks are gone. All the grades are gone! Everything is gone!!!!
Everything torn up by Union Pacific as BNSF and Metrolink do not go over by the old Colton Yard
dum bnsf thats mist up big time there is no need to abandoned the line thats what they do best roug bnsf so any way Excellent video singwith !!!!!!!
Great video!! I love going on google maps into 2007 and seeing Union Pacific! Sadly they took out the tracks where it used to go by and also how come they took out the tracks where the Union Pacific used to go by?
I would like to watch Union Pacific Peoria way freight train video.
This line is no more! Not a single remain
ques maquinas chique e para quem gosta muito de trem e mesma coisa de uma pessoa que gosta de um bom cafe
I would like to drive to Erie PA once I graduate I am going to go to work in Erie PA and build a steam locomotive engine museum hopefully I will.
Are trains required to blow there horns constantly. I've seen video's where there basically in the middle of nowhere but yet still blast there horns. was just wondering if this was a railroad rule.
It is a rule unless its a quiet zone.
Not just "anywhere" actually, but at EVERY grade crossing (where a road for vehicular traffic of any kind cross the RR tracks); UNLESS - as Texas Railfan accurately said - that specific grade crossing or area is deemed a "Quiet Zone".
It's a Federal Rail Administration requirement to sound the horn in a specific horn sequence, before and up to the actual crossing of the road which crosses the RR tracks.
mapexmac Yep. it is an FRA rule that ALL trains MUST blow theyre horn at ANY grade crossing including private roads/driveways. Signals or not. Only with the exception of a QZ. If and ONLY if it is a QZ.... The engineer MUST have the air/e bell ringing throughout the crossing(s).
Why did UP give it to BNSF?
Does that mean the whole UP is gone for good?
Now they removed the line! All the crossings track everything! Only remain is ballast.

ohhh, ok
Rare catch of the conrail horn
Hey can i make a request? i dont know how to message you on your channel. Could you catch and film the UPY Marlboro local in the city of Orange?
You haven't been able to message since April 2018, when CZcams removed that feature.
yes i will
Is the street running track in Colton still active? I heard that there are plans to abandon it and pave it over.
It's still active but IDK how long.
Not any more. Tracks removed down to Congress street. Below that there are 3 longish storage tracks that were part of the line and the tracks into the Cascade Lumber distribution yard, but they are now accessed via a new track that loops around Cascade to connect to the BNSF. Also, the tracks across the river and down to where they used to cross the San Jac are all torn out, including the trestle over I-215..
Where in riverside is this diamond? I have never seen a diamond in riverside
What Kinda horn does 1427 have??
Why is this the end of...?
How icome BNSF is takin g over if it was a bad revenue..
3:15 Fort Worth and Western Horn!
