BNSF in California's Central Valley

Not only is California’s Central Valley the greatest agricultural area in this country, but it is also the home to some big-time railroading – BNSF Railway’s Bakersfield Subdivision between Bakersfield and Fresno. This high-speed line through the razor-flat San Joaquin or Central Valley of California, is home to a growing number of transcontinental intermodal, manifest, and unit trains headed to and from the Bay Area or BNSF’s terminals around Stockton, along with six pair of state-supported Amtrak San Joaquin service passenger trains that run between Bakersfield, and Sacramento and Oakland. This neat program shows all the trains on BNSF’s Bakersfield Sub between Wasco and Hanford for twenty-four hours in June of 2007. “BNSF in California’s Central Valley” is 68 minutes long.
