| 13.9 miles north of Bakersfield, California, the BNSF Railways Lone Star Branch pplits off the Bakersfield Subdivisions mainline and heads west through the almond groves. On March 11, 2011, train Y-BAK3071-10I waits among the almond blossoms (and a lot of bees) behind GP38 2163 and GP38-2s 2316 and 2319, which provide a splash of color to the scene. |
