After I dropped my youngest off at school, I figured that since it was only 92 degrees, I should go down to see what was happening on the old Sunset Route. Uncle Pete Has been busy, the track is now double tracked east of Hermosilla St (Arizona Grain), and they are just finishing up the ballast. 
Uncle Pete is also doing a few things that will make an Espee fan sad, they have pulled out the old signals, and are replacing them with new, 3 light signals.
East of Thornton, it is now triple tracked, and the old cotton gin on Thornton that I wanted to shoot today, well the foundation remains.
