Doublestack containers have revolutionized the railroad industry. You can see them everywhere across the nation. Yet one of America’s most famous railroad landmarks has been off limits to doublestacks due to numerous tunnels with restricted clearances. Now, after millions of dollars and months of hard work, the famous Tehachapi Loop has doublestacks traveling around it in spectacular style!
Pentrex visited Tehachapi to show the results of the work done in the tunnels and trackside to prepare for the doublestacks. A season of record rainfall in California left hillsides green and gorgeous, and every shot in this video is a beauty! You’ll see the latest high-powered, high-tech locomotives growling up the grades and pulling their mile-long trains around the Loop. This video has it all: spectacular shots of the newest locomotives, non stop train action, incredible scenery, and now doublestacks for the first time!

Tehachapi has always been one of the best locations for trainspotting, and it continues to be as you watch these massive trains lugging themselves up the grade. Definitely enjoyable, especially when you remember that soon, ATSF and SP would disappear from the scene forever…

Nice short program on the aftermath Southern Pacific and Santa Fe did the doublestack program. Years later it was well worth it. Newer Santa Fe power and older SP power in the program. Quite enjoyable.

This program covers not only the big loop itself, but also a great variety of diesels like the red & silver warbonets with the old school blue & yellow units on the Santa Fe just months before it’s merger with the Burlington Northern the following September of that year, to some other road names that made a couple of appearances as well. Besides doublestacks, there are also piggyback containers as well.

My uncle gave me this program as a vhs for my birthday when I was a kid and I liked it then and I still like it. It is short and sweet and shows the Tehachapi loop as the first double stack trains were rolling over the line. We see fairly diverse locomotives of the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific.

This is a fairly short video compared to most Pentrex films, but still very good. At the time, it was a view of the “modern” trains on Tehachapi, of course now things have changed but still great to see warbonnets and SP trains hauling freight over this Iconic rail line.
