You can see it in the background, up the hill....see the red car? When we moved to San Bernardino in 1966, we took the train, and it went thru Cajon pass. Stopped running passenger trains thru there, too dangerous....REAL steep.....

They're talking a "Bullet Train" to Vegas across the desert, but it will end in Victorville on the north side of Cajon Pass. Getting through Mountain Pass and Baker Grade ought to be a hoot

They have been tunneling thru the mountains for years...that is where a lot of the money went...Bypass the pass...

Every flat occupiable space in Ca is cut off from the next by a mountain pass. Grapevine, Cajon, Baker Grade, Donner Pass, Tehachape, the list is long.

LOTS with no name at all....how about 395 towards Ridgecrest? Just north where the railroad tracks cross the 395....

Yes, in the west, we have MOUNTAINS!!! there are a few pretty steep passes thru the Catskills, and Smookie mountains, but nothing like what we have here...back there, they prefer to tunnel, no seismic faults to contend with..it seems...

Like Cajon Pass? That's where the San Andreas heads back to the beach
Scuse me, towards the beach and then to the desert again.

Right, no way to tunnel thru there. When they tunneled for the aqueduct to lake arrowhead lots of issues. Lots of groundwater and crappy rocks,
