Tehachapi Railfanning With Amtrak Detours!!
On 9/14/19 I made my way up to what is probably my favorite rail line of all time. The Tehachapi pass is part of Union Pacific’s Mojave Subdivision. Not only is the line used by Union Pacific, the line is also used by several BNSF trains as well. This rail line is the busiest single track rail line in America. Serving approximately 45 freight trains every day.
Normally the traffic over Tehachapi is 100 percent freight. But about once a year Amtrak’s Coast Starlight uses this line when the normal Coast line is being worked on. That’s what happened here. I met up with Justin Trackside again, and had loads of fun. We visited several different well known locations on the line. Featured is Amtrak’s Coast Starlight Number 14 and several other freight trains climbing all over the pass. Several meets happened in this video as well because this line was PACKED full of trains. Here they all are.
Train 1: Mojave, CA Westbound Amtrak Coast Starlight 14
Train 2: Mojave, CA Eastbound BNSF Baretables
Train 3: Tehachapi, CA Eastbound BNSF Empty Grain
Train 4: Tehachapi Depot Rail Museum: Westbound Amtrak Coast Starlight 14
Train 5: Woodford, CA Westbound Amtrak Coast Starlight 14 meeting Westbound BNSF
Train 6: Bealville, CA Tunnel 3: Westbound Amtrak Coast Starlight Number 14
Train 7: Caliente, CA: Westbound Amtrak Coast Starlight Number 14 Meeting Eastbound BNSF (I ended the starlight chase here)
Train 8: Caliente, CA Westbound BNSF Manifest from Woodford meeting Eastbound BNSF
Train 7: Caliente, CA Eastbound BNSF Intermodal finally gets moving
Train 8: Walong, CA (World Famous Tehachapi Loop) Westbound UP emergency stop just West of Tunnel 10.
Train 9: Walong, CA Eastbound BNSF Intermodal from Caliente moves through the loop
Westbound UP gets on the move. From Walong
Train 10: Tehachapi Depot Rail Museum, Eastbound BNSF Manifest
Train 11: Tehachapi Depot Rail Museum, Eastbound BNSF Intermodal
Train 12: Tehachapi Depot Rail Museum, Westbound UP Intermodal
This day was soo much fun reliving my childhood days when my uncle would bring me up here to watch trains. The Tehachapi loop is the exact place where my love for trains was sparked when I was 5. I’m not able to make it out here often but I hope I can again soon, because I’ll be honest. I got goosebumps at how awesome this line is, I have all kinds of stories I could tell about this line, and a huge part of my childhood memories have been spent here. I’d also like to thank the awesome people behind the live train cams on this line. This line will never grow old to me.

ABOUT THIS FEED:
Barstow is located on BNSF Railway's Southern Transcon, the former Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF) mainline between Chicago and Los Angeles.
Barstow is fairly busy, both with BNSF traffic on their Southern Transcon, plus traffic of the Union Pacific Railroad (UP). This is where BNSF's Needles Sub from the east becomes the Cajon Sub to the west.
The UP's Los Angeles Sub (the former Los Angeles & Salt Lake [LA&SL]) ties into the BNSF ex-Santa Fe east of Barstow at Daggett.
West of Barstow at Valley Junction, BNSF's Mojave Sub diverges towards Tehachapi Pass, and is another former Santa Fe route, that also sees a good deal of UP traffic.
The (default) east camera looks towards the crossovers (switches) at control point (CP) Barstow, which is a light-on-approach CP, i.e., the signals are dark until a train is within the adjacent/approach signal block(s).
There is an ATCS layout available, but with little to no server (data) coverage.
There is a radio stream available, focused on the line to the west (Hesperia/Upper Cajon):
When’s the next train? Yeah, we get this a lot. There’s no schedule for freight trains, but some of our more knowledgeable members will provide real-time information when it’s available. Please refrain from asking.
Amtrak’s Southwest Chief stops in Barstow (BAR) twice daily: the eastbound #4 at 9:41 PM, and the westbound #3 at 3:45 AM (Pacific time zone).
The concrete pads you see are from when there were more platform tracks here at the station (Harvey House).

Santa Clara, CA Train Depot
Like my Facebook page:
Here is shots the Santa Clara train depot. The Santa Clara Depot, built by the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad in late 1863, was the oldest continuously operating railroad depot in the State of California until the ticket office was closed in May 1997.
The original 24'x50' (79x165 m) board and batten depot was one of the two way stations built between San Francisco and San Jose. Plans for a railroad linking San Francisco and San Jose began as early as 1851. Though the 1851 scheme ultimately failed, the incorporation of the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad in 1859 met with success. Most of the financing for the project came from county government in San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, with the University of Santa Clara and local industry also playing a significant role in both stock acquisition and choice of placement of the depot in Santa Clara.
The first passenger service to San Francisco started in January 1864. The Southern Pacific Railroad acquired the San Francisco & San Jose Railroad in 1868. The depot, originally on the east side of the tracks, was moved to its present location in 1877 and attached to the existing 32'x50' (105x165 m) freight house constructed several years earlier. Because of the large volume of agricultural freight shipped from the depot, the freight house was increased in size at that time to its present dimensions of 32'x160' (105x528 m).
On November 1, 1877, the San Jose Mercury reported the facility nearing completion. Following construction of the railroad, farming and fruit-related industries developed in the Santa Clara area, with the depot serving as a focal point for shipping. Rail service provided the direct link to San Francisco and, in the later 1870s, to Southern California. Typical of these efforts were those of James A. Dawson, who pioneered the area's fruit-canning industry in 1871. By the turn of the century, the Pratt-Low Preserving Company, the largest fruit packing plant in central California, was located just south of the depot.
The California Department of Transportation acquired the depot from Southern Pacific in 1980. It was placed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. In cooperation with the South Bay Historical Railroad Society, a nonprofit group founded the same year, they began renovation work in 1986 on the depot, by then badly in need of repair. A group of volunteers spent over 25,000 hours hauling away debris, replacing support timbers, siding, exterior decking and interior flooring, scraping peeling paint, painting and many other repairs. With the major renovation complete since 1992, this 139-year-old building hosts a railroad library and museum with 2 large model railroad layouts and many other artifacts while still serving its original function as a passenger depot. Enjoy!! Filmed 11/24/13

ABOUT THIS FEED:
Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada, in the Canadian Rockies, is located on the Canadian Pacific Railway (CP), where their Shuswap Sub meets their Mountain Sub. The Shuswap Sub runs to the west to Kamloops, BC (towards Vancouver, BC), and the Mountain Sub runs to the east to Field, BC, through Rogers Pass.
The CP traverses the Canadian Rockies over 2 passes. Rogers Pass, which is to the immediate east of Revelstoke, and further east, Kicking Horse Pass, which is to the immediate east of Field. Rogers Pass is at 4,360 feet (1,330 meters), and Kicking Horse Pass is at 5,339 feet (1,627 meters). To the west of Revelstoke is the lower Eagle Pass, at 1,804 feet (550 meters).
Among the freight trains seen here are unit potash, unit grain, and unit coal. Loaded westbounds feature both mid-train and end-of-train DPU’s, and empty eastbounds have fewer engines, both on front and as DPU’s. Many but not all eastbounds will stop to enter the yard, which is located to the east of the museum and cameras. Also seen are manifests, intermodal, and combined intermodal/manifest..
On occasion, the gates will activate, but will soon after deactivate, with no train, which is due to the switcher in the yard proceeding far forward enough to enter the crossing's track circuit.
There are no VIA Rail passenger trains through Revelstoke, however, during part of the year the Rocky Mountaineer can be seen.
There are 2 ATCS layouts, one for each sub, but there is no server coverage. No radio feeds are available.
There’s no schedule for freight trains, but some of our more knowledgeable members will provide real-time information when it’s available. Please refrain from asking.

Suisun City(Fairfield), CA Train Depot
Like my Facebook page:
Suisun/Fairfield station is an Amtrak station in Suisun City, California, close to the city of Fairfield, served by the Amtrak Capitol Corridor commuter rail line between Auburn and San Jose through Oakland. The station is used by commuters from the exurban satellite city to Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area. The station is under the State Route 12 overpass.
The current station opened in March 1914 and is the second depot to serve these two towns. The one story wood frame depot is one of two dozen “colonnade style” stations erected by the Southern Pacific Railroad. The design takes its name from the Tuscan columns used in the long porch that stretches out along the platform. Beneath its wide roof, passengers are protected from inclement weather. The colonnade style mixed elements of Colonial Revival and Arts and Crafts architecture.
In the 1970s, the depot fell into disrepair, but in the 1990s, in an effort to create a more inviting gateway to town, the Suisun City Redevelopment Authority gained control of the structure and used state transportation funds to carry out a full rehabilitation, which included a new landscaped courtyard.
Of the 74 California stations served by Amtrak, Suisun-Fairfield was the 22nd-busiest in 2012, boarding or detraining an average of about 549 passengers daily. Enjoy!! Shot 2/26/14

ABOUT THIS FEED:
Horseshoe Curve is the three-track (formerly four-track) railroad curve on the Norfolk Southern Railway's (NS) Pittsburgh Line, the former Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) mainline, between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Approximately 50 freight trains travel the Curve each day.
The 360 camera can pan the entire curve, when an operator is available. During the daytime hours when an operator is not present the camera is placed on an automatic script (program), which does auto pans from one predetermined position to another, but it is not capable of panning with the movement/direction of a passing train.
Amtrak's Pennsylvanian passenger train (between New York City and Pittsburgh via Philadelphia) passes this camera twice daily, once per direction.
There is an ATCS layout available, with server (data) coverage to the east of the Curve down in Altoona itself.
There are 3 radio streams available, see links above. You will also hear conversations (between the dispatcher and crews) from said radio feed being broadcast over the speaker at the Curve.
The engine on display is former PRR GP9 #7048, built by EMD in December 1955 in Order #5408, to Penn Central (PC) #7048, to Conrail (CR) #7048, then donated for display.
When’s the next train? Yeah, we get this a lot. There’s no schedule for freight trains, but some of our more knowledgeable members will provide real-time information when it’s available. Please refrain from asking.

Operations of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad in Bakersfield, CA, with a GP28/GP38 Powerset
The San Joaquin Valley Railroad (SJVR) is a shortline that services dozens of industries in and around the cities of Fresno and Bakersfield, CA. The railroad was founded in 1992, and its main purpose was to serve industries on numerous branches in the San Joaquin Valley that had been abandoned by Southern Pacific. In 1997, the SJVR was sold to States Rail, a shortline holding company, which was in turn bought by Rail America in 2002. Rail America was purchased by Genesee and Wyoming in 2012, making SJVR one of 120 railroads owned by the massive corporation. As of 2019, SJVR interchanges with BNSF in Bakersfield, BNSF and UP in Fresno, and UP in Goshen Junction. The railroad operates an interesting roster that includes GP15s, GP28s, GP38s, GP20s, and PR30Bs.
While driving through Bakersfield on the scorching afternoon of July 26th, 2019, I decided to stop at Bakersfield yard to see if there was anything going on. Just as I arrived, a SJVR local freight pulled out of the BNSF interchange with a short train of tank cars. Leading the train was SJVR #1825, an extremely faded/patched EMD GP28, and trailing was SJVR #3822, a heavily graffitied GP38. SJVR #1825 was built in 1964 and has operated for IC, ICG, KYLE, IAIS, and IRRC, and SJVR #3822 was built in 1967 and has operated for B&O, CSX, and CORP.
Since there was heavy traffic and no roads that ran parallel to the track, I wasn't able to chase the SJVR local after it departed the yard. I deduced via satellite maps that the train was headed to switch out the San Joaquin Refining Company a few miles north, so I headed to a railroad crossing on Standard Street which was situated right next to the industry. It wasn't long before the train backed towards me and began to work, crossing the road multiple times as it broke up its train into small cuts of cars. After about 20 minutes, the train finished up work and began to haul three empty tanks back to the yard. Since I had already gotten numerous perspectives and the heavy traffic wouldn't allow for a chase, I left the crossing and called it a day. Thanks for watching!
Reno, NV Train Station
Like my Facebook page:
The depot was built in 1926 by the Southern Pacific Railroad. It is the 3rd train depot built at this same location. The first two were built by the Central Pacific Railroad; both of these were destroyed by fires. This current Southern Pacific Depot was also used by the Virginia & Truckee Railroad, until 1950, when the railroad ceased operations. The depot was enlarged in 2007, as part of a project called ReTRAC, which lowered the tracks to eliminate most at-grade crossings in downtown Reno. In the process of excavating around the depot, many artifacts from Reno's past were discovered, some exposing not-well-known moments in Reno's history. Several of these are on display in the station lobby, including an old cistern used by the fire department, a long filled-in pedestrian tunnel, a previously unknown basement at a former masonic lodge, a horse watering fountain, American Indian artifacts, and several bottles dating as far back as the 1860s. The Western Pacific Railroad historically provided service to Reno, but never used this depot, instead using the now abandoned Nevada-California-Oregon Railroad Depot, a few blocks to the northeast.
On December 4, 2012, it was announced that the Station would be placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Shots are around this historic depot both street level and track level. Enjoy!! Shot 7/27/14

Tehachapi Live Train Cams Livestream Drone at Derail Site 10.12.2019
Welcome to Tehachapi Live Train Cams Livestreaming Drone!
The TLTC Drone is the DJI Mavic 2 Pro and affectionately called Benji (Benjamin). We fly Benji as often as possible…sometimes just around our Cam 1 site at West Cable, and sometimes in remote areas that are not easily accessible unless we use Benji to get there.
Currently we have a 24/7 livestreaming cam at West Cable and one at the Tehachapi Train Depot Museum. While watching the trains on these cams you can also chat live with the TLTC community.
We are very excited about our upcoming location at the Tehachapi Loop, which should be 24/7 livestreaming by the end of October 2019!
Our livestream cams are a hobby of ours and not for profit. We appreciate all donations for our projects as we plan to provide livestreams throughout the Tehachapi Pass. If you would like to donate, you may do so through a livestream super chat by pressing the $ symbol. We also accept donations via PayPal made to cablerrcam@gmail.com.

Danville, CA Train Depot
Like my Facebook page:
Here is footage of the former train depot in Danville, CA.
The Southern Pacific Train Depot was built in 1891 on land donated by John Hartz as Standard Station No.22 which was erected when the Martinez line was extended south to San Ramon. The first train came on June 7, 1891. Passenger service ended in 1934. The Southern Pacific trains continued to pass through town with freight until 1978 when the line was abandoned. The building was sold in 1951 for the Danville Supply and Feed store. In June 1996, it was purchased and moved 100 yards. It now houses the Museum of the San Ramon Valley and lies along the Iron Horse Regional Trail. Shots are around this old classic depot. Enjoy!! Shot 1/5/14
The Cotton Belt Depot Museum
The Cotton Belt Depot Museum is showcasing a big part of the East Texas Railroad history in a very small form factor. Model trains.
