  • This is something a lot different! Trains NOT on the Tehachapi! I figured it was time for something a little different, so I spent the day between Bakersfield and Corcoran on BNSF's Bakersfield sub. I wasn't sure how the traffic would be, but as it turned out, I had no reason to worry. I saw more trains than I had time to shoot! So, join me up the valley for BNSF and Amtrak action!

    I live out here in Wasco and a half mile from the tracks. Speed limit is 70mph for freight, 80 for Amtrak. Lots of BNSF traffic on a good day, but it sucks that you can no longer hear them blast their horn through town anymore since they removed the 2 grade crossings as part of that HSR project.

    A rail fanner goes by Jawtooth (old C.B. handle) got hisself a radar gun little tiny one , don't point it at the lead loco, mite cause some consternation, but anywhere on the leading edge of rail cars works well, but you're rite 50 mph or even 45 because those huge vehicles look like they're moving faster than they are.

    Wouldn't it be awesome if American trains could do the same speeds as European trains... or the North East corridor trains.... or the upcoming California high speed.
    Seeing one of those long freight trains doing around 200 Kilometers per hour would be amazing...! )I know they can't... but it would be great if they could).

    It is interesting that the twisting, tunneled, horse-shoed rails of Tehachapi connect directly with the flat, speedy, straight tracks of the Central Valley. 🛤️

      And the Mojave desert on the other side. I hope to get some stuff shot out there soon as well. Thanks for checking it out!
