I was talking to a friend at the weekend who went to the NMRA show in San Diego.

Whilst in the area, he visited Cajon and Tehachapi. He said that as it used to be easy to chase trains on Tehachapi because of the slow speeds, since the track upgrade they now travel much faster, and it is difficult to get ahead of a train for more pictures.

As well as track relaying, was it also re-aligned, super-elevated, etc.?

I hope to get over to see for myself next year, and I really liked the slow pace of trains, as it gave plenty of time to study the consist, etc.

Any info. on my favourite spot would be appreciated http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif
