Dear HO Customers, we were informed by BLMA Models today, the HO Scale Assembled Brass 150' Truss Bridges and the Modern Single-Pole Block Signals (with Dual Heads) will be in next week.

So........We here at Pacific Western Rail decided to come up with some unique sale promotions for those of you who model modern era trains. (see Sale details at the end of this page)

The Block Signals are based on an extremely common design, this dual-head modern block signal can be seen throughout the country on numerous 'Class 1' railroads.  

The Specific prototype images below are located in Fullerton, California, on the ultra-busy BNSF transcontinental mainline.  (Please note that this signal is not specific for BNSF.)

The Single Track Brass Truss Bridge is located on the Union Pacific mainline in Southern California, the prototype for this model dates back to 1938.  Spanning a narrow section of the Mojave River that runs above ground, the massive 150-foot long bridge is an important link in Union Pacific's LA&SL line that links Los Angeles, Salt Lake, and points further east.  

Afton Canyon, home of this truss bridge, is located between Los Angeles and Las Vegas on the LA&SL line as mentioned above.  Near such railfan hot spots as Cajon Pass and Tehachapi Loop, Afton Canyon offers an unbelievable backdrop for Southern Californian rail fanning.  If you're planning a rail fanning trip in Southern California, don't miss this spot (be advised that train traffic is sporadic at best, and exploring the canyon requires 4 wheel drive, a full tank of gas, water, and at least a full morning or afternoon).
