UP Manifest Meets BNSF Stack at Mormon Rocks (Drone + Tripod)

Описание: A heavy Union Pacific manifest (3×2 DPUs) climbs the Palmdale Cutoff at Mormon Rocks just as a 4‑unit BNSF intermodal sweeps through the lower level. Perfect timing, echoing horns, and classic Cajon Pass drama all collide in this meet.

Shot in 4K with both tripod ground angles and aerial drone perspectives, this video captures the scale, sound, and terrain that make Mormon Rocks one of Southern California’s most iconic railfan locations.

All audio is completely authentic — no overdubs, no added horns, no fake radio call effects. While some channels covering Cajon Pass mix in artificial sounds (we know who they are), everything you hear here is exactly what happened trackside. I never buzz the engines with my drone — respect comes first — and my style focuses on wide‑angle, cinematic, real‑world railroading.

After the last railcar clears, you’ll hear a rapid beeping — that’s my drone controller warning me the battery is critically low and to land immediately. It’s part of the real moment, captured exactly as it happened.

For the best experience, make sure YouTube is set to 2160p (4K) — the detail at Mormon Rocks really comes alive in full resolution.
