Running from Cabazon, California to Gardena, Ca, this train runs for Robertson's Ready Mix delivering material from their Cabazon Plant to their Distribution Center in Gardena. This train runs every weekday, while making the rare occasional Saturday run. The train originates at Ice Deck, and runs with two six-axel comfort cab units on each end facing eachway for the return trip to Cabazon. Another intresting thing about the train, is that is uses Robertson's own freight cars, some of which still have ACI barcodes.

Most often the power on the train is two GEVOs, Aces, or other big 6-axle road units. There will be one on each end, with occasionally two units leading (the case when I saw the train). The rear units will be reversed for the trip back to Cabazon.

The origins of these cars is a little vague, but according to RailcarPhotos, these are American Car Foundry cars with the top parts cut down a bit. These cars fall under the AAR designation of K384.
