This week's update concentrates on a BNSF AutoMax train at Tehachapi Loop. These massive cars are built in pairs and share a wheelset at their articulated joint. This particular train had dozens of these cars and stretched over a mile long. The Tehachapi Loop is just under 4000 feet and this train has enough length to double over its self and more. Also included are the previous day's afternoon shots of a BNSF train exiting the portal below the loop.
