Mojave Mainline & Tehachapi Double Feature!
The Mojave Mainline programme takes you through beautifully exotic desert scenery as the BNSF Needles subdivision covers 168 miles of double-track main line from Needles to Barstow.
You'll see westbound trains with BNSF helpers attack Goffs Hill-28 brutal miles of 1.4% grade. Imagine the traffic jam at the hot junction of Daggett, where a flood of UP trains joins BNSF's own trains. In the Mojave, freights move at passenger train speeds.
See how spring rains transform the usually rugged Mojave desert into an unbelievable backdrop. Tour BNSF's massive Barstow Yard and take a look at shoreline Arizona & California and climb Ash Hill in a gruelling 40-minute ascent.
The Tehachapi programme visits one of North America's legendary train watching locations, the Tehachapi Pass where trains of the SP and Santa Fe conquer the Tehachapi mountains on their trek from the Mojave Desert to San Joaquin Valley.
Features all the famous Tehachapi locations: Tehachapi Loop, Tehachapi Summit, Caliente, Bealville, Woodford, and more. There's heavy freight action with intermodal, mixed freight, unit trains and work trains.
