Starting Up Tehachapi

This Southern Pacific manifest is just starting up the grade through the Tehachapi Mountains in southern California. SD45T-2 "Tunnel Motor" 9232 is the first of 10 total units on this train. Four up front, four more 1/3 back, and they have just added 2 more 2/3 of the way back on this heavy freight. All ten are EMD, the majority are tunnel motors. I would see him again on the famed Loop later. (see my SP album).
