Friday Flares-Oil Cans edition
Author: Railfan4Christ

A few SP flares on the biggest show on Tehachapi, the BKDOU or the "Oil Cans" as they were known.

1. 7446, 7417, D&RGW 5335, 7534 and 6820 coming out of Tunnel 1 between Caliente and Bealville on 8-15-1992.
2. 7413, 7407, 7402, 7479  bring the train under the Beale St. overpass at Bakersfield, CA on 9-25-1993.
3. 7415 leads the train approaching Tunnel 2 on 4-3-1993. 

Thanks for looking back with me, 

Tom
