DECADES OF RAILROADING SANTA FE & SOUTHERN PACIFIC

 

Visit Tehachapi from the mid-60s to the mid-90s --  plus related, regional supporting locations such as Taylor Yard,  Barstow Yard, Richmond Yard,  Colton Crossing, Cajon Pass and the building of the SP Palmdale cutoff.

Learn the intertwined history of all the featured locations that are all part of the greater Tehachapi story. See all the great power and vanished scenes of pre-merger railroading at its best.

We trace the history of how, and why, two railroads used the same mountain pass and how the line was built. Don't miss the wonderful vintage views of how SP opened the "Palmdale Cutoff" to better access Tehachapi.

Our visit to neighboring Cajon Pass also brings lots of Santa Fe vintage freight action -- including a number of Passenger-Mail trains behind beautiful Warbonnet F7 and PA power.

Many diesels were tested by the SP over the years to work on the demanding Tehachapi line in both "point", and especially "helper" service. Many failed to meet SP's expectations, and we review those years in the 60s and 70s. See the demise of ALCO and the problems with early GE U-series diesels and how GE improved their products.
