The town of Tehachapi is doing a good bit better than that picture of the train station (circa 1994) would lead you to believe. Tehachapi has turned into a pretty good secret place to live. Not all that far from LA but you are at the base of the beginning of the Sierra Nevada's. OH, the train. Big news about the train is the high speed train project. I am down the road a bit in the AV.
I'm wondering when they are going to rebuild Tehachapi or reroute the line through that area? How many trains have string lined on it in the last 30 years on that rather tight curvature?
Well, the mountains have not moved since the line was originally surveyed over one hundred years ago. Perhaps the economics of going around a curve versus going through a mountain have not changed since then. To answer your questions directly, roughly twenty movements (or more) a day every day for thirty years. Glad you liked the video.
Great stuff Paul. I was shooting at Tehach a lot through the '90's. Best time ever - golden era for western railroading. Keep 'em coming.
I really liked the last clip. Lots of great shots.

Tehachapi, California. Home of the greatest mountain railroad grade in the world by Southern Pacific railroad.
Was that dome thing at the cement works used in the Moonraker Bond film?
