Tehachapi before the big mergers! From December 1995, see Southern Pacific and Santa Fe units running over the loop. While more trains than ever run Tehachapi, these are sights that are now long gone: SP and ATSF painted units and the SP “oil cans” that no longer run over Tehachapi. The action is exciting and the sights wonderful: A long Santa Fe pig train draped around the loop has to be one of the most spectacular sights available. See Cable, Bealville, Tunnels 1 & 2, Tunnel 5 – the entire line is covered from Mojave to Caliente.

Santa Fe and Southern Pacific still ruled Tehachapi when this video was shot in late 1995, and Highball Productions has done a great job capturing scenes that will never be repeated. Spectacular scenery and the sight and sound of hardworking trains, all preserved with Highball’s usual stellar camerawork. Few images in railroading … if any … are as thrilling as seeing a train wrapped around Tehachapi Loop. See for yourself why Tehachapi has been called one of the seven wonders of the railroad world!

There is no railroading experience like Tehachapi. And this video does an excellent job showing it. Lots of long trains, from intermodal to oil cans. It takes a lot of power to move the trains as seen with the SP and 8 units on the head end and assisting in helper mode. Highball covers the area very well over a 38 mile stretch with the tunnels and gorgeous scenery.
