This week's update is the first in a series of photos taken in Tehachapi taken in June 2003. I made the hike from Caliente to Bealville on the first morning I was in the area. It is a long hike but it's the only way to see that territory. I encountered multiple trains on the way including a military train which will be included in next week's update. For the rest of this update, there are a couple other shots from Woodford where a train had stalled and required that a northbound train coming down off the loop had to tie down the train and use its power to get things going again.
