The scenery at this location is absolutely breathtaking and having SP's tunnel motors roaring in run 8 up through the middle of it would've been like stumbling upon heaven on earth.
Southern Pacific was such a great railroad. Also railroad companies were much more fan friendly back then. None of the "security" and "trespassing" crap we have to deal with now.
If I could go back in time and be a hobo for a day, hopping on an SP train in this time period between Bakersfield and Mojave would be where I would've rode the rails.
I have lucky to visited tehachapi in 1998, and saw and heard these engines pulling hard, at this year I knew that all this stuff have the days to go, I live in argentina, and 200 of these emd were to brazil, regauged to 1 meter lines and still making money to brazilian railroads
That third unit looks hideous in that stupid California paint. I just purchased SP 7319 and BOY I love how it sounds! I think that SD45T-2 is next for a modeling project.

Nothing beats an EMD 645e3 engine best sounding locomotive engine ever
What a beautiful sound indeed! Working hard to earn their reputation and doing a damn good job at it!
Of all of the locations in the Tehachapi Mountains, this one probably ranks as my favorite. Great video!
