HD: Needles Subdivision Railfanning in May 2014

Watch in HD! Yesterday, on National Train Day, my father and I made the trek up to the Needles Subdivision in order to catch some trains in the scenic Eastern Mojave Desert. The wind was fierce, with gusts up to 90 Miles an Hour in the afternoon, so that impeded camera operation significantly. But we still caught great variety on the BNSF including NS 8102, the Pennsylvania Heritage Engine, aCREX leaser on the point, Canadian Pacific leasers, CSXT ES44AH's, Warbonnets, Phase 1's, and a train with 5 warbonnet DASH 8-40BW's, all running!
