Title:  UP 7850 leads a southbound train through Kern Junction.
Description:  The "No Trespassing" written on the rail in the foreground is fitting since there were many people crossing the tracks in the spot. Seconds later we saw a BNSF police SUV pull up to one while we ate lunch. He then came and talked to us and was very friendly. He told us he rarely arrests people, he usually just gives them a warning.
