Monolith Cement in Tehachapi Questions
Author: tehachapi-dave

Hello,

Looking for some information on the Monolith cement plant in Tehachapi, specifically if they had a plant switcher of anytime in the 1990's (specifically 1995.) Also, what SP job switched the mill, and how often did they do it? Was the job out of Mojave or Bakersfield?

Thanks in Advance

I've never seen a plant switcher there and I believe a couple trains out of Mojave handle the business, the "KI," and the "Blitz" back in the day.

The critters worked on the old mine railroad.

Bill,
The "KI" and "Blitz" were one in the same local, and delivered loaded coal, and picked up the empties even in the late 90s.

In 95 they had a trackmobile to move cars around the plant.

Looks like that last critter is still there in Google Earth?
