Footage of the joint BNSF-Union Pacific Tehachapi Mountain Line in Southern California from December 1998-January 1999. Huge amount of power variety, including EMD's SD70M demonstrators, because of several mega mergers in the past few years prior. Mix of EMDs new and old and very few widecab GEs. A refreshing change to what is the norm. UPDATE: I'll try my best to identify all of the locomotive models in the video First Train: BNSF C44-9Ws 4953 & 999 BNSF SD75M 8255 ATSF GP38 2345 BNSF GP35u 2560 ATSF GP60M 154 ATSF SD45-2 5815 BN B30-7AB 4114 Second Train: SP SD70Ms 9805 & 9819 SP SD40T-2 8527 SP SD40M-2s 8874 & 8649 Third Train: BNSF C44-9W 4973 BN SD40-2s 6821 & 6811 BNSF SD75M 8220 Pushers: BNSF C44-9Ws 985 & 1114 Fourth Train: BNSF C44-9W 4744 ATSF C40-8W or C44-9W ????
