Post your screenshots from the Cajon Pass route.
Here are mine after a busy day railfanning.
1. A UP train bangs across the Diamonds at Colton crossing.
2. A few minutes later a BNSF slams the Diamonds at the same spot.
3. Leaving town I caught the Alka-seltzer express on the BNSF.
4. As I worked my way toward Mojave, I caught a coal train before I went onto Tehachapi Pass.

O.K., I am convinced ! MUST HAVE !
Are the Switches MANUAL by Default like in the P.O.&.N. and the N.&.N.J. ?
Will wait until 3DTrains have caught up with the rush of orders before placing mine. :7

Nitpick:
Isn't that cabview wrong for an UP SD70M? I thought all of UP's SD70Ms except the 25 they took over from SP had desktop controls, but dials in stead of the computer screen...

1. No UP comfort cab would only have one CRT screen. There are always two on the Engineer's side.
2. I have yet to see a cab with desktop controls with a CRT and a dial type ammeter. The ammeter would be incorporated into the CRT display.

Yes, but unless I am mistaken the UP's SD70M's (apart from those they took over from SP, possibly) don't have computer screens at all in their comfort cabs, only dials.. (I think three dials). Apparently UP wanted these locos with the old-style control stand, but EMD couldn't deliver those anymore and so made the comfort cab with old-stylde dials as a compromise
