D/Hs to the scrap yard and yes, a cutout at Summit if it was going to West Colton, otherwise to LA, it would stay with the train for the climb out of Palmdale Of course, our retired Mountain pros could say otherwise, lol Edited 1 time(s).

Chris Date: 04/05/14 09:24 Re: SP Eastbound at Walong, circa 1990. Author: SP8595 Awesome! The sound of those EMD's is just Fantastic! Thanks for bringing back some Great memories, sure glad I was around during that time frame to witness trains like this. Check out the first pipe flat (which is a D&RGW car) coupled up to the placarded tank car!

Author: jonjonjonjon I've just been exploring Mojave-Bakersfield in a virtual sense in the new version of Trainz simulator, and having never been to the Tehachapi area, it was interesting to see how it really looks from your video - thanks for posting.
