Paul, Thanks for your kind comment , Here's a westbound stacktrain at Warren led by BNSF 4359 , taken the same day as the earlier shot.
Wonderful photographs! The Tehachapi area is my favourite train watching place (not that I have been to many other places) There are sooooo many excellent photo angles possible. Where exactly is the first pic at Caliente, above or below the horseshoe curve?
Alan- I shot it in Caliente witch is below the horseshoe curve. John- Thanks , Email me at richc44ac@yahoo.com and I'll send you a couple more.

As best as I can tell, the Caliente photo was taken above the horseshoe curve. By saying "above", I mean uphill from the curve. The signals showing in the photo are located on the hill between the curve and Tunnel #1 and can be seen by looking up from Caliente-Bodfish Road. The reason I came to this conclusion is the signal number plate that reads 3362, where MP 336 is near the overcrossing that is just above the curve. I'll guess further that the train pictured is a Westbound that is actually headed East toward Caliente and the big curve Westbound trains travel Eastbound for about 2 miles between Tunnel #2 and Caliente). My apologies for over-analyzing the photo, but it is a unique angle that deserved a detailed explanation. Just be lucky that you didn't run into an angry bull up on that hillside!

It did have me puzzled, as all the track I saw below the curve was double (at least as far as we could see)

Why am I not seeing any of these photos? <hr></blockquote> Since the photos are hosted off site (in this case, as a file folder on a Yahoo group), this may keep the images from showing. I also wasn't able to view the photos, but clicked on the red "x" and got the properties of the target image. Try this link to see the photos. This should take you to the listing of file folders for this Yahoo group. You should be able to open the folder and view the files.
