  • With some time on my hands, I invited my friends, Angel, Ashley and Angelique, to join me for a day of chasing trains on the Tehachapi, and BOY did we catch some!
    We caught them on both sides of the mountain and we all had a great day. So, join us for some railfanning on the Tehachapi!
    Please help support the channel if you can!

    Great video Mark, there is absolutely no such thing as too much trains! I would love to see if it is possible to pace some trains for speed limits along the right of way. I know a lot of the roads up there are really windy so if you feel it is safe that would make some awesome content! The trains look fast when you’re right next to them but when you’re further away they look way slower. Kind of like how viewing a rocket launch from 25-30 miles away looks really slow despite the fact it’s faster than sound. It’s the same effect, I wish I had a name for it because I know there is one

      It's just perspective. They used to show us film at safety meetings of three trains from three angles and ask us to figure out which was going the fastest, but they were all going the same speed. You'd never have been able to tell!

    Big trains - that's Tehachapi! Some loud flange squeal on the curve - a hazard of railfanning. It's cool when you are over or above the engines - it just brings that sound of power. I bet you can feel it if you are close enough.

      When they're pulling hard, it literally shakes the ground!

    Knocking the Signal Down. Interesting that the Amazon Containers were up at the Front of the train so the Crew could keep an Eye 👁👁 on Container Pirates. 🏴‍☠️

    I am amazed of how fast some of these trains move through the Tehachapi area. Especially as they head up from Caliente

    • @MarkClayMcGowan
      @MarkClayMcGowan  Рік тому +1

      I know it doesn't look like it, but they're all going 23 mph, maximum, from Caliente to one mile west of Tehachapi (MP335.4 and MP359.5).

    Being you worked for many years with the railroad and since retired, are you allowed access to areas most people wouldn't be allowed?

    • @MarkClayMcGowan
      @MarkClayMcGowan  Рік тому

      That's true in my corner of the world, and has been true in other parts of the country where I have been approached, but I never count on it.

    Why is the bottom signal turned away in the first train that passes?

    • @MarkClayMcGowan
      @MarkClayMcGowan  Рік тому +1

      Cameron was designed as a double crossover and was signaled as such, but the west crossover was never installed. The bottom head (one at each end of the CP) would have been for the move through the west crossover. Since there is no turnout, the location cannot have a facing signal for that move, so the signals are turned to the field and are not wired into the system.

    Thank you, nice job. I have a question, on how they synchronize the engines, some are pushing some are polling. ALL working together, in series, impressive stay safe

    • @MarkClayMcGowan
      @MarkClayMcGowan  Рік тому +2

      The ones hooked together are connected with cables and mid or end of train units are controlled from the head end by radios. If you go to my "how things work on the railroad" playlist, you'll find a video about how those radios work through tunnels.
