Remarks & Notes

Four big units, including GE U33C No. 8685, are cut into a big eastbound manifest fighting the heavy grade at Cable. On the westbound track a Santa Fe manifest glides downhill toward Bakersfield and the San Joaquin Valley beyond.

What California is known for. Fires, droughts, weed, and people waving rainbow flags. Yah. Great place alright. At least the trains are nice.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
