Description
The West Barstow Rail Yard is a large classification facility for Burlington Northern Santa Fe. It features a state-of -the art "hump yard" where railcars are pushed over the hump where they roll freely down a hill whereupon they are automatically switched onto the track where the appropriate train is being built. Barstow is an extremely busy rail hub where BNSF and Union Pacific traffic converge entering and leaving California. BNSF5067 leading stackers eastbount can be seen entering the yard from the west on a main line. They make a brief stop to change crews and then continue on towards Needles.where
