Tehachapi Pass - An Afternoon of Trains

Last year in June 2023, I spent an afternoon railfanning Tehachapi Pass between Mojave and Bakersfield catching BNSF and Union Pacific trains. Included in the video is BNSF's 2023 Employee Appreciation Special, a rare passenger movement on the pass. Also included are other clips from that same day of Amtrak San Joaquin trains north of Bakersfield.
Enjoy the video!

Those are great shots of passenger trains and freight trains rolling through the Tehachapi Pass. Thanks.

Great shots of a beautiful passenger train. Must have been a long trip for a San Diegan.

That was awesome! I'm thinking it took railroaders decades to put down those tracks and dig through those mountains.

Nice video. Your shots from the south portal of tunnel 5 - did you walk up there on the shoe fly (sp?) from the north portal?

[@terrynielson7886]

You cut out the middle part of the Train! How can I count the cars? That's why I like to watch!

[@Atsf1976]

Nice video. I know that your thumbnail is by tunnel 2, but is it on the other side of the barbed wire fence?

[@curtc3092]

I've shot that same angle from the side of the road; just zooming in a bit.
