Tehachapi Railfanning

On MLK day my partner and I took a trip out to Bakersfield to film trains along the Mojave Subdivision and to help patch some holes in a major project I'm working on in regards to the hill (that's coming out soon-ish!), and what a day it was! Tehachapi is easily my favorite place to railfan bar none and that day was no exception, with tons of interesting and unique locations, trains, and much more! Specific trains include the Monolith Local working the Monolith cement plant, newly rebuilt AC44CM's leading trains on the UP, local switching at Bakersfield, meets on the Loop, and much more!

[@garykcs5532]

Great job Jason. I used to live in Lancaster and use to railfan that whole area every Saturday...gary

[@PhoebeDarlington]

Zachary, do you have any still photos of the 1:03:00 footage?

[@d64tv06]

I live in Palmdale and I'm planning to prepare my channel for a railfanning one so I can learn how to railfan like a true railfanner. However, I think I'm only to be able to film trains close to were I live but in the future I can go farther than Acton, little rock and even tehachapi.

Love Kern jct

[@garykcs5532]

Wow long drive

[@tonireynosojr621]

Trains don't stop at the bottom of the hill at walong anymore why is that isn't the side longer at walong as well

[@RailfanJunction]

I think they stop so that they're adjacent to the at-grade crossing in case they need to get something delivered to the crew - the end of the siding being extended to Marcel allows them to not have to worry about fouling the south switch anymore.

[@garykcs5532]

Did you fly here to do the vid

[@RailfanJunction]

Nope, I drove!
