9 March 1943

A Santa Fe Railroad train stopped at Cajon Siding, California. The brakeman is standing atop the train during a stop to cool the train's braking equipment after descending Cajon Pass. I traveled the Cajon Pass in 1945 with my family and at the time, it was a very winding treacherous route.
