UP 4464 With 2 Unpatched SP Units On The Tehachapi Loop

[JBofBrisbane]

Different terminology - something like the Tehachapi Loop in Australia (we have two in New South Wales) would be called a spiral. A "loop" is what you'd call a "passing siding".

[poofballbeanie]

wow, thats one hellava loop!

[SF3751]

@poofballbeanie Still a great place to watch the action.

I can set the date on this between 1997-2001. I say that cause 1: The SD40T-2 number is currently occupied by an SD70M and the SD60M is 6155 and it has sense been renumbered into the 2400 series

the elusive all-EMD lashup!!! that's about as rare as a BNSF train having second-generation power! or not seeing a GEVO for an entire month.....

[deadhead82]

Awesome! miss seeing lashups like that. Can't beat the sound of those SD40's.

[SF3751]

Same here, those SD-40's could put on a show.

[JoaoT805]

yeah i was just gonna say. i miss the sound a lot.

[Espeelover]

I wonder if I was ever there when you were there?

[SF3751]

Who knows?

[Espeelover]

have you ever been there when there were two smashed-up tank cars in the pocket siding up there at the loop?

[SF3751]

Don't think so.

[Espeelover]

oh, i've been there with all kinds of equiment in that siding. gondola, mow, tankcars, box cars, nothing,flat cars.

[Espeelover]

Who was recording? I think I was there around that time when they had all those concrete ties there.

[SF3751]

My dad was.

[bnsf7747]
