I shot that eighteen years ago and still remember the ground shaking violently. I think the meets in Part III at Keene and Part IV in Bealville are awesome, too. Glad you liked the clip.
the day's of thunder that these made may be gone, but they will never be forgotten...
this was my home pass and i just so have happened to live across the street from the SP rail yard in mojave. days i'll never forget, because they would always shake the damn house... but i loved it
Thank you for preserving and posting these videos. I spent many happy hours and days chasing SP and ATSF trains up and down through Tehachapi and little did I know this was indeed the “golden” era of railfanning with the endless variety of unique power and inspiring paint schemes, gyralites, and the roar of the big EMDs laboring in Run 8...
When I was born in 1953 I lived with my grandparents in the town of Monolith that used to be there . The cement company was called Monolith Portland cement co. My grand father was a supervisor there.
My dad's old boss used to work there (she retired)
I need to go back. It's been almost twenty years. Glad you liked the video.
👍👍👍👍2021 still love these videos!!!
BNSF's triple track between Chicago and Aurora Illinois is nothing to sneeze at. But see the Cajon Pass videos (Summit Symphony Part I and II) on this channel for another view of western railroading. Glad you enjoyed the clip.
Ahh, railroading out West... nothing like it anywhere else. Great videos!
Choo choo! I'm a train and I approve this excellent video!
Seemed back then a lot more loco varieties where there was a time when types of locos came into service as others where slowly going out .
@zekecycle, glad you liked them. The maps are from the US Geological Survey and part of the public domain. The green dots indicate where the train was when the video was shot, not the camera position.
Interesting years for rail-fanning. An actual SP caboose on the first train. I wish I knew what date this was shot. RUclips videos, you never know.
This is so awesome!
Great video .enjoyed watching
I enjoy seeing the maps indicating the location of the train.
The by gone days of railroading!!! You never see tunnel motors like this anymore.
Thanks for sharing...I was a train buff back then but never made it to this spot.
+Jason Paul Kazarian I've seen so many videos of trains on the MS, that it shows me the Mojave sub on trainz 12, is real accurate
no problem. Kinda Prefer SP and ATSF, and I was born after the Burlington Northern Santa Fe merge, as well as after Union Pacific Bought Southern Pacific.
When did the Santa Fe introduce their high profile cars to Tehachapi? Was it trial and error? I noticed Santa Fe had some high profile cars on your second filming of the Santa Fe,
I'm sure there's a lot of great railroading there, but you just can't beat the Western scenery...
Lots of subtle differences; angle cabs, no graffiti, 45' trailers on the pig trains, most of which we're railroad owned, "Golden West Service" cars, a "gyrolight", etc. Doesn't seem that long ago, but maybe it was...
thanks for the video I enjoyed watching
Glad you liked it. Hope you watched the whole series! Cheers.
Love the way you use the map to tell non-locals where the trains are. Topographic maps are even better, IMHO, because they give an idea of what kind of place it is - hilly, flat, etc. Like, just for the maps!
07:45 Considering how few SD45B units the ATSF owned they sure do show up in a LOT of videos! Not that I have a problem with that. Just an observation.
Nice video :)
I guess that's the way it goes
3:22!?! I thought there was plans but I didn't think they made B unit - 8 cuz they were going cost the same?!
WHAT YEAR IS THIS VIDEO
Leave them wanting more. --P.T. Barnum
Why do they almost always use more than one engine? Is it due to the necessity of the pulling power needed to go up the hilly terrains?
Absolutely yes. While most trains between east of the Rockies need two or three motive power units per mile or two, those west of the Rockies need double that. Over the Cajon Pass and the Tehachapi Summit, many trains use pusher helpers as well. Glad you liked the video.
The lines that cross Cajon Pass or Tehachapi have steep grades and sharp curves, which means lots of braking power and horsepower is needed. This means that trains need more locomotives on hand. The longer the train, the more locomotives you need to get proper mileage.
Are you trolling
Showkat Khan It’s for more horsepower and braking power. Either way, the more the merrier!
these are the good years. unlike the crap UP and BNSF trains of today
Well, I have not been back in who knows how many years. Probably going on twenty three now. Glad you enjoyed the video.
The Santa Fe Guy Today’s the good years too. UP and BNSF do their damn well best to maintain the line, and they sure do run it fine. What did UP and BNSF even do to you either way?
