High Speed Union Pacific Trains across the Sunset Route in California

Located about 2 hours to the East of the Los Angeles Basin, lies the Salton Sea. This desolate area of California's Sonoran Desert doesn't have much - except for trains. The Union Pacific Sunset Route, also known as the Yuma Subdivision in this territory, runs right through the heart of the Sonoran Desert. In this footage from mid-late 2018, you'll see various Union Pacific freight trains as they pass through this area. While some freights are slower than others, they can reach some higher speeds in this area! Much has changed since 2018, as a “PSR“ model has fallen on Union Pacific, causing major consolidation of trains. As always, thanks for watching! | Video and Content by MichaelLovesTrains 2020
