Last Days of the 6430
April 17, 1971, was a grubby day to shoot trains on Tehachapi, but it was a great day to be there. Battle-weary SP F7A 6430 is running out its last days in helper service and is in the Bealville siding with a southbound manifest as Santa Fe 5619 scoots by on the main. Regardless of the weather, Techachapi was always the place to be with a camera or just watching trains pass.
