Railfanning Bakersfield, CA + Tehachapi Pass Train Chase! 7/29/2023

Here is a combined day of Railfanning Bakersfield, as well as doing a chase of a train in the Tehachapi Pass. I spent the day railfanning Bakersfield primarily at a few different locations. It was really busy on the BNSF Bakersfield Sub, and I saw some pretty neat lashups. By far the best as on an H-RICBAR, which had a BNSF Warbonnet leading, with NS, CN, and a Dash-8 also in the consist. Despite the train getting into the BNSF Bakersfield Yard in the mid morning, it didn't leave until after darkness, however we still decided to chase it east anyways up the tehachapi pass, where we got it at East Bakersfield, Kern Junction, Edison, Sandcut, Bena, Caliente, and Bealville, I hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
