TRONA Railway: Old Diesel Trains in the Desert - Following a Freight Train Ep. 6

Welcome to another episode of Following a Freight Train! In the middle of California's Mojave Desert, there is an incredibly unique industrial railroad that has been transporting minerals for over a century. The Trona Railway stretches 31 miles from Trona to Searles, CA where it interchanges with the Union Pacific. Railroad enthusiasts from all over the US are drawn to this unique operation because of the railroad's fleet of old former Southern Pacific and Union Pacific SD40 type locomotives. In this special episode of Following a Freight Train, we will take an in depth look at the Trona Railway, covering details about the region, history of the railroad, and then significant points along the line.
