Western Railroad Discussion > Lots of green & gold, but no leprechauns in Tehachapi!Date: 03/19/17 23:24 Lots of green & gold, but no leprechauns in Tehachapi! Author: bearease I wanted to take advantage of the perfect Spring weather and run up to Tehachapi on Friday before all the rain started up again (forcast for next week)
Here's a bit of what I saw: 1 & 2: From Woodford/Tehachapi Rd. looking Westward toward Tunnel 10. I hadn't photographed that area since the new construction. 3: UP 7880 from top of the hill overlooking the loop, but shooting Eastward back up toward Marcel. More below...

4. UP 7880 again on the 5th crossing just beyond the loop. From the same vantage point. 5. Same train a bit later down at Bealville 6. DPU heading down the hill More.... Edited 1 time(s).

7: BNSF 4433, the "Wine Train" as I've heard it called I believe, approaching Tunnel 2 8: Ducking into the tunnel 9: And the DPU Hope everyone had as good a St. Patrick's day as I had! Thanks for looking!    Date: 03/19/17 23:50 Re: Lots of green & gold, but no leprechauns in Tehachapi! Author: SantaFeRuss Tehachapi is incredible! The images are also incredible!

I saw your comment on my post and yes that was us. Should've come up and say hi! I like the shots taken up above the loop. One of the most ideal weekends I have experienced on Tehachapi
