ATSF Warbonnet ABBA Matched Power Set

Excerpt from our Tehachapi: End of an Era DVD. Short and low quality. But a perfect matched ABBA set of ATSF Warbonnets on a piggyback hotshot at Tehachapi Summit. Even the final A unit is facing the correct direction! Circa 1995. Copyright © 2005, Jason Paul Kazarian. All rights reserved. More at:

Not quite a matched set. The first three are GP60A & 2 GP60Bs all made by EMD. The last one is Dash8-40BW made by GE.

@youngwarrior2, yes, it's true, the power is not perfectly matched. But the ABBA scheme with the A units pointing the correct direction at each end is something that's quite rare.

Those are not slugs, but powered B units.

Que raro que las GP60 fueran por la ruta del Tehachapi. Las habían asignado al Cajoon Pass por el tema de patinaje. LAs titulares para la ruta del rulero eran las 8-40BW, como la última. Excelente el video.
