While Cajon gets all the press, Commerce CA sees almost as many trians. Commerce CA has to be one of the most utilitarian named towns in America (Industry CA further east is another).

Commerce has the BNSF San Bernardino Sub, however, where stacks seem to come as frequently as subways in New York City.

An image from Saturday. No scenery in Commerce, but it's still a fun place to hang out for a couple hours.

They were... felt like a model railroad. I'll throw up a better shot of them in a day or two, when I have a chance to edit.

I've saw little "yard like" turnouts on fab cars before, just never saw larger mainline ones in panels like that.

As promised, here's a better shot of the track panels.

I have another to post of the whole train, which I'll get up soon.
