ABOUT THIS FEED:
Barstow is located on BNSF Railway's Southern Transcon, the former Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF) mainline between Chicago and Los Angeles.
Barstow is fairly busy, both with BNSF traffic on their Southern Transcon, plus traffic of the Union Pacific Railroad (UP). This is where BNSF's Needles Sub from the east becomes the Cajon Sub to the west.
The UP's Los Angeles Sub (the former Los Angeles & Salt Lake [LA&SL]) ties into the BNSF ex-Santa Fe east of Barstow at Daggett.
West of Barstow at Valley Junction, BNSF's Mojave Sub diverges towards Tehachapi Pass, and is another former Santa Fe route, that also sees a good deal of UP traffic.
The (default) east camera looks towards the crossovers (switches) at control point (CP) Barstow, which is a light-on-approach CP, i.e., the signals are dark until a train is within the adjacent/approach signal block(s).
There is an ATCS layout available, but with little to no server (data) coverage.
There is a radio stream available, focused on the line to the west (Hesperia/Upper Cajon):
When’s the next train? Yeah, we get this a lot. There’s no schedule for freight trains, but some of our more knowledgeable members will provide real-time information when it’s available. Please refrain from asking.
Amtrak’s Southwest Chief stops in Barstow (BAR) twice daily: the eastbound #4 at 9:41 PM, and the westbound #3 at 3:45 AM (Pacific time zone).
The concrete pads you see are from when there were more platform tracks here at the station (Harvey House).

The Harvey House Railroad Depot, originally known as the Casa del Desierto, is a former Fred Harvey Harvey House located in Barstow, in the Mojave Desert within San Bernardino County, California, United States. Casa del Desierto now functions as an unstaffed Amtrak passenger station as well as housing Barstow city offices and two museums. It is now often referred to as the Barstow Amtrak Station.
The Casa del Desierto station and hotel was built by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and replaced an earlier one built in 1885 that burned in 1908. It was designed by renowned Fred Harvey Company architect Mary Colter in a synthesis of Spanish Renaissance and Classical Revival architecture styles. The historic structure is an elegant presence in the Mojave Desert beside the intermittent Mojave River. Santa Fe then closed the station in 1973. Casa del Desierto was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The site was then designated as a California Historical Landmark in 1976.
The City of Barstow obtained the station in 1990 and moved several city offices into the building. The Barstow Area Chamber of Commerce operates out of Barstow Harvey House. Other public institutions located here are the Western America Railroad Museum on the east side and the Barstow Route 66 Mother Road Museum on the north side.
Shot are around this historic station. Enjoy!! Shot 7/21/14

Some off roading near Opal Mountain and then a visit to the Rainbow Basin. It was over cast all day so some of the colors are a bit subdued.

I made this trip in June 2018. Video shot with a Brinno TLC-200 Pro time-lapse camera mounted on my roof with a homemade magnetic case. I travel with two Brinno cameras - one facing forward, the other in reverse. Sometimes the reverse camera captures better video (fewer raindrops and bugs hit the rear-view lens).
