Tehachapi Railfanning

Watch in HD! Two weeks ago, I made the trip up to Tehachapi hoping to catch some good trains in equally good light. Unfortunately, the clouds I found at the East end of the pass never cleared up, and I spend most of the day fighting clouds while catching great train traffic. This past weekend, I went up again to Tehachapi to try at it again, and succeeded beyond my expectations for sure! Lots of train traffic is seen in all areas of the pass, from Edison to Mojave trains are seen climbing and descending the tortuous grades of Tehachapi. Many trains are seen on the pass, including lots of foreign power, Santa Fe DASH 8-40CW's, DASH 9-44CW's, and SD75M's, brand-new ES44c4's, BNSF SD70ACe's, CREX ES44AC's, NS 8099, the Southern Railway Heritage Unit, and much more!
