Western Railroad Discussion > Helpers on TehachapiDate: 09/25/20 21:12 Helpers on Tehachapi Author: cajon Last night BNSF helper made 2 trips north. They add the helper at Sanborn and cut them off at Monolith. They would Run light to Cameron on track 2 then cross over to track 1 back to Samborn. Friday night so far they made one trip.
Tehachapi is a night railroad with all the work windows. Dennis Posted from iPhone Date: 09/25/20 22:17 Re: Helpers on Tehachapi Author: callum_out That 10 mph speed restriction on the bridge (until last car passes the restricting flag) really makes the grind to Marcel tough
and then the grade stiffens a bit. Been a while since there were regular BNSF helpers on Tehachapi. But hey, Needles calls a set every now and then too. Out Date: 09/26/20 01:00 Re: Helpers on Tehachapi Author: BNSFHelpers You called ??? i miss them sitting @ Sandcut Ca. during the days...
