a specific point. As the intensity of the light increased, it reflected off dust in the desert air. This phenomenon was sometimes seen by passersby on nearby Interstate 40 and 15. Solar Two was decommissioned in 1999, and the facility was converted in 2001 into a gamma-ray astronomy telescope. The facility is now known as CACTUS (Converted Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope Using Solar-2). CACTUS, which is operated by the University of California, Davis but owned by Southern California Edison, operated from late 2004 until late 2005. On November 25, 2009, the Solar Two tower was demolished. The site was leveled by Southern California Edison. All heliostats and other hardware were removed. Plans are in place to develop a training facility for Southern California Edison to train personnel on construction and maintenance of high power transmission lines and towers. At the Coolwater Generating Station (600 MW natural gas, decommissioned in 2015), a 482 MW photovoltaic power station with 394 MW of battery began construction in October 2021. Railroads Daggett is a station on the BNSF Railway on the Needles Subdivision. Trains are frequent on the line as this line goes to Chicago. It is also a junction of the Cima subdivision of the Union Pacific Railroad, the former Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad, line from Salt Lake City, Utah via Las Vegas, Nevada. The Union Pacific runs via trackage rights on the BNSF and goes to Riverside, California. Back in its heyday, Daggett had two narrow gauge railroads, the Borate and Daggett Railroad and the Waterloo Mining Railroad, both built to export silver and borax ore out of the Calico Mountains several miles north. Both were 3 ft gauge, and both were serviced by two steam locomotives each. After 1907, both of these railroads were closed down and abandoned due to the mining companies moving on to greener pastures found to the north in Death Valley. The old railroad beds can still be traced in some places in the desert, but now most of the old grades have been paved over to support cars and off-road vehicles. Cemetery The Daggett Cemetery, which features graves dating back to the early 1900s, is located at . In popular culture Daggett appears in The Cardigans' video for "My Favourite Game". The 1940 movie The Grapes of Wrath used Daggett as a filming location. Climate According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Daggett has a
