Diesel Locomania! Big Engines and Tons of Action at Pepper Ave.

Oh yes. The famous Pepper Ave. overpass is a fantastic spot to watch trains. The sounds of big steel, and the smell of diesel fills the air, making it heaven on earth for any railfan. On this particular visit, we see lots of locos, and a bunch of movement in the yard. Union Pacific spices up the color in the yard with their bright yellow engines. So sit back and enjoy some action from Union Pacific's largest yard on the West Coast. Please rate and comment, Thanx! :-)

[@Rustyrailhead]

Nice video. I've been passing by this hill on the East end of the yard since the mid 1950s and they still haven't got it level. Curious as to camera used. FPS, Flash memory
, Makers?

[@Rbyrd77]

First time I have ever seen a Wal Mart container on a train.

[@TrainTrackTrav]

Yeah, it's not something you see very often, making it a bit of a novelty. But that's one less truck on the freeway.

[@UnionPacificRailFan]

I was there today to see NS1074 pass

[@UnionPacificRailFan]

A little bit backer tho

[@judefernandez827]

TrainFan8444 Thank you for this beaut video I'm from Melbourne Australia but originally from India where my father was a motorman on the Indian Rail So lovely to see scenes of my favourite country America Go USA

[@Cinziaking]

So I just watched a video on the attempt to move big boy 4018 and want to know where it's located?

[@TrainTrackTrav]

4018 is on display in Frisco, Texas.

[@Sharadabrat45]

Nice Trav, so I know where to find you when you aren't hanging with us weird people.

[@TrainTrackTrav]

Oh yes indeed. LOL! Anywhere there are tacks is a good place to look for me if I'm not in town. :)

[@speedozx10]

oh wow (but was this a cellphone?) What city is this?

[@Edyth_Hedd]

Pepper Avenue, Colton, CA. Look it up on Google maps.

[@speedozx10]

thanx Edith

[@TrainTrackTrav]

This was shot with a Sony DSC-H300.

[@speedozx10]

OK my bad thanx TTT, nothing wrong with that

[@redshoesgirl]

i was looking at the location on googlemaps and there doesn't seem to be a sidewalk!

[@TrainTrackTrav]

Nope, no sidewalk. Never has been. We just stand on the side of the bridge. The road isn't very busy, and railfans have been coming to this location for decades.

[@redshoesgirl]

@@TrainTrackTrav great, thanks so much!

[@wobblinwheel]

What's with all the "luggage"? I've stayed a WEEK at motorcycle rallies, and never needed more than I could strap to my sissy bar! What are these guys doing to "work up a sweat" that they need all these extra clothes? 🤔 I'm just curious...

[@andrewholt4098]

What town is pepper loco depot in please?

[@TrainTrackTrav]

This is in Colton, California. The bridge I was standing on when I filmed this is the Pepper Avenue overpass. Hope this helps.

[@Rustyrailhead]

Colton Ca.

[@pizzasubs]

those are some huge fans on the top of those engines, guessing those are for to help keep the engines cool, just the the fans on vehicles engines?>?

[@TrainTrackTrav]

Correct. Cooling fans are the rear most ones. The other fans are dynamic brake fans.

[@ryszard2670]

OK

[@1990sunbird1990]

if this is a union pacific's rail yard how come there's a BNSF locos in the yard

[@TrainTrackTrav]

BNSF runs a daily train to and from Barstow from this yard. It's not an uncommon sight at all. :)
