Here are some unbelievable views shot at Walong, on Tehachapi Loop that no longer have access to the public! There were often crazy actions by foaming railfans like standing on the rails when filming! This location was actually an "Overnight Campground" used by people for generations, where they got away with roaming, camping, BBQing and of course drinking lots of beer. They went and did what ever they wanted right in the middle of the loop with 50 trains a day. It is a wonder there were not more injuries, but we all have some great stories of time spent there. In the early 2000's it was closed for good and is still off limits today!
Look for the full DVD "SCARLET AND GREY MEMORIES" at https://cspmovies.com/ and join us for a look back at the SP in the 1990s and in earlier views of the 1970s. See Coastline action along SoCal shores with mainline and local freight trains. Visit White Hills, Lompoc and Santa Paula branch lines and follow the venerable Saugus Local and see its efficient crew keep schedules for freight customers on Metrolink's busy Saugus Line that was bought from SP. We bring nostalgic SP action in the Tehachapi's with lumber, oil-can, coal-drags and general freight. Remember the days when 5 front and 5 back were the "norm". See the SP power that has been taken away by the 1996 UP-SP merger that has erased so much of the past. More action and views from the San Fernando Valley, Cajon Pass and Beaumont Hill bring you a SP that you can fondly remember
