NIIICE ! Great catch! You and I were down there around the same time at one point or another. SO I Really like seeing what others did for angles and equipment at the time I was trying to video trains.

There is an interesting place at the camping site of Ridgecrest near black mountain, north Carolina where the train climbs a very steep hill at the edge of the campground near the highway. She engines are always at near max load going up the hill. We used to hear them at night back in the 80s when we camped.

Cool video. I sure miss seeing the caboose on trains

Oh..how I remember those 20 cylinders thundering up Tehachapi. I remember being able to hear the diesels miles away before reaching the loop. Thank you for the memories.

That day left an impression in my 15 year old mind. I still remeber it so clearly.

I will assume you are referring to the big derailment on Duffy Street on the morning of Friday May 12,1989. Then there was the CalNev pipeline explosion 13 days later in the same area of the derailment.

That is one of those days that is burned into my memory. Though I didn't find out about the runaway on Cajon til 4:30 that afternoon, I can still remeber where I was at 7:40am which was about the time the train left the tracks. That was my first period in my ninth grade year. As I watched the news coverage of the wreck that evening, I kept imagining the terror that the train crew were going through at the very same time that I was having my normal day going to school.
