Santa Fe 7416 East at Tunnel #2
Author: SP8595

Tunnel #2 on Tehachapi, always a great place to shoot an Eastbound in the afternoon!

Santa Fe B40-8's 7416, 7446, GP39-2 3703 along with a F45 and a SD45 head up the hill on the front of a manifest train.

Bringing up the rear was extended vision caboose 999755 with SD40-2 5178 shoving against it. Seems late in the game for a caboose, er I mean waycar to be seen in July of 1989.

i recall in the 1988-1990 era there used to be a westbound and eastbound freight through Edison in the early to mid afternoon hours

usually with a good selection of SF geeps ,sometimes 9 or 10 in charge

both trains had a caboose

i saw them meet at Bealville one afternoon in 1988 at lunchtime both cabeese passing and waving crews

Very nice shot!! Always liked the B40-8's, especially with the gumball warning lights when they were delivered in 1988 and 89.
