After over a 6 month hiatus of not uploading anything on KZitem, I am back after finally getting some time away from work to enjoy this fun hobby. I decided to go back to Tehachapi Pass for the first time in four years to do some railfanning around the mountain. I caught some great action in the three days that I was up there. Information about day one to follow:
#1: Starting my trip at Caliente, famous for it's horseshoe curve, I capture this Westbound BNSF Baretable as it makes it way towards Bakersfield.
BNSF 5199 - GE C44-9W
BNSF 7784 - GE ES44DC
BNSF 4696 - GE C44-9W
#2: Now coming around the horseshoe and down into Caliente is this Northbound Union Pacific Manifest where it meets an Eastbound BNSF Manifest that is waiting for it's turn to go up Tehachapi Pass.
UP 8722 - EMD SD70ACe
UP 5800 - GE C44ACCTE
UP 6349 - GE C44AC
UP 6505 - GE C44AC (DPU)
#3: Now at the Tehachapi Depot, I capture the Eastbound BNSF Z/Hotshot train with a brand new ET44C4 at the lead. Sorry about the shakiness in the video and lack of sound as this was recorded with my GoPro Hero 3+.
BNSF 3971 - GE ET44C4
BNSF 5999 - GE ES44AC
BNSF 8375 - GE ES44C4
BNSF 6954 - GE ES44C4
#4: Now coming through the Tehachapi Depot is this Eastbound BNSF Doublestack with an all Dash 9 consist. Video also shot with my GoPro Hero 3+.
BNSF 4577 - GE C44-9W
BNSF 4196 - GE C44-9W
BNSF 4360 - GE C44-9W
#5: Now at the world's famous Tehachapi Loop, I catch this Northbound Union Pacific Manifest as it makes it's way slowly around the loop. It was going so slow because there were construction workers working around tunnel 10 getting ready to add a second track up Marcel.
UP 8109 - GE C45AH
UP 7737 - GE C45ACCTE
UP 5453 - GE C44ACCTE
UP 8xxx - EMD SD70ACe (DPU)
#6: After fixing a broken rail near the end of the Walong Siding, this Eastbound BNSF Unit Grain Train or the "Earthworm" comes off the Woodford Siding and makes it's way up the Tehachapi Loop. This train also has a Norfolk Southern leader with it's noticeable flashing ditch lights.
NS 8126 - GE ES44AC
BNSF 4800 - GE C44-9W
BNSF 4135 - GE C44-9W
#7: The next train to come up the Tehachapi Loop is this Eastbound BNSF Manifest that was at the Rowen Siding waiting for the broken rail to be fixed at the Walong siding. This train had a clean and hardly weathered ex ATSF unit as one of the DPU's.
BNSF 4114 - GE C44-9W
BNSF 7428 - GE ES44DC
BNSF 4319 - GE C44-9W
BNSF (ex ATSF) 715 - GE C44-9W (DPU)
BNSF 8092 - GE ES44C4 (DPU)
#8: As night falls and the air temperature gets colder, I caught this Westbound BNSF Intermodal from the Tehachapi Depot while talking to some other railfans from the Bay area.
This concludes my day one of action. I still have two more days to go with plenty of more surprises in store. For now, please feel free to like, comment, and/or leave feedback as it is greatly appreciated. Enjoy this video & thanks for watching!!!!
