Trains on Tehachapi in Early October - 4K

Watch in 4K Resolution! Finally, another full-length railfanning video! During the first week of October, I took a three day trip with a friend to Tehachapi Pass to railfan at some of our favorite spots. We were treated to a colorful variety of trains, including lots of manifests, and many less common locomotives. BNSF was running lots of interesting locomotives, including several Dash 9-44CWs in H1 and Warbonnet paint and some SD70MACs in Executive Green paint.

Recording locations in this video include Cameron, Woodford, Bealville, Tunnel 2 (Allard), Caliente, and Edison.
