Here is a compilation of trains we saw on Super Train Sunday. I think I have spent nearly the last 10 years foaming instead of watching "The Game"...anyway, the video is kind of long, but it was a great sunny day, with temps reaching 80 degrees in Tehachapi for a while.
Finally, I got down to the Layout for an Opp. Session. I was the Southern Pacific Bakersfield Yard switcher on the East end. This video shows just some of the hundereds of cars that I moved. I hope you enjoy this video!

The aftermath of a freight train derailment at Caliente. A freightcar derailed and damaged a switch. After it was repaired the trains were backed up for miles in each direction, so there was a constant parade of freights until sunset and through the night.

This time I'm catching a Southern Pacific South bound ahead of Walong, on Woodford Rd, then I catch it again at the loop (not really a chase, I had plenty of time driving the distance). One AC4400CW and one C44-9W on the point plus two SD40M-2 as helpers.
