This video was shot in May 2002. A WB UPRR manifest train has just descended the Tehachapi mountains & has stopped on the Caliente CA horseshoe curve for a crew change which normally would take place at Bakersfield CA about 30 miles further west from Caliente. At the same time a EB BNSF intermodal/reefer train is cooling it heels at the end of the double track waiting for the UPRR train to clear the single track so it can begin its ascent up the Tehachapi mountains.
