Remarks & Notes

The hills in the Tehachapi Mountains are a golden brown as a Southern Pacific freight rounds the horseshoe curve at Caliente on July 31, 1982. A quartet of SD40T-2 diesels, led by SP 8360, is providing the muscle to get this freight out of the San Joaquin Valley and up to the summit in Tehachapi as it makes its way south (eastbound on the SP).
