I recently made a trip, with a friend of mine, out to the Dos Cabezas and Goat Canyon area. We went out to see how the work, to reopen the line, was progressing. Since my friend had never been out to the trestle he wanted to see that as well. I took the opportunity to shoot more photos of the area, instead of the railroad.

A couple of general notes. We saw several blasting cans, that I'm guessing are from the old worker's camp building, being pretty far from the building site. Someone had to carry them, definitely they weren't moved by natural forces. Second note, it appears that all work has stopped on the railroad line. According to information on a rail fan website, the Pacific Imperial Railroad (the new operators of the rail line)is a complete sham and is shut down. The PIR website has been down for over a week.

Here are some photos from our trip
