Review of Tehachapi 1980s Part 1 and Part 2 The Santa Fe and The Southern Pacific

 5 of 5 (2)
Tehachapi I: the Santa Fe

Photographed in 1984 and 1986, the classic Santa Fe caboose still trails most trains as they roar through the scenic canyons and over the engineering marvel of Tehachapi Loop. An exciting pacing sequence follows a long freight over the Loop and into the Mojave Desert. You'll also see examples of the flashy red & yellow paint scheme that was used during the failed merger attempt by the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific. This program captures the power and scenery of this bustling mountain division.
Tehachapi II: the Southern Pacific

When this program was produced in 1986, The Southern Pacific still maintained its own identity even though you will see glimpses of the red & yellow merger paint scheme. It was a time when the Southern Pacific "Tank Train" still snaked over spectacular Tehachapi Loop. As an added attraction, see steamer #4449 with the 1984 passenger special...in "Daylight" colors. See it on the Loop, at a station stop and near Mojav
