Tehachapi, 23 March 1982
My Air National Guard unit's "summer camp" for 1982 was support for Gallant Eagle 82 at George AFB in Victorville, California.
I was allowed to drive my own car, and en route, I spent a few hours watching trains on Tehachapi Pass, between Bakersfield and Tehachapi, California.
From the photos, it appears I chased 2 eastbound (southbound SP trains from Sand Cut to Walong (the Loop), catching them at different locations. SP 8340 was leading a pig train that was ahead of a manifest led by 8554. 8304 met a westbound Santa Fe train at Bena.
SP 8554 was seen looped around the Caliente horseshoe curve and at Bealville, both at Bealville and coming out of Tunnel 4 and then climbing at Cliff before the Loop at Walong.l
SP 8340's lead power and helpers are seen broadside on a fill between Tunnel 1 and Tunnel 2, then approaching Walong.
After following the SP trains to the Loop, I stopped there for a bit and saw westbound and eastbound Santa Fe trains. I followed the eastbound, getting ahead of SP 8554 as well as ATSF 5701 before ending the day of train watching and heading to Victorville.
"So Kang, I'm doing this for the beer and pizza, but how the heck did She-Hulk get you to help her move?"
"You know how she's a lawyer, and can talk, like, forever."
"God yes."
"Well, her...uh...tracts of land? They're right at eye level when she's talking and, well, they're quite hypnotic."
"Yeah...it's not about the beer and pizza."
"Yeah."
If you lived anywhere along the Gulf coast on August 29th 2005, you probably have your own Hurricane Katrina stories to tell. I lived in Mobile, Al., about 65 miles east of the eye's landfall. It was bad in Mobile, but my home sustained minimal damage and my biggest complaints were being without power for 9 days and the maddening noise of my next door neighbors generator. (which happened to be about fifteen feet away from my bedroom window.) We could all sympathize with the people of Mississippi and Louisiana. If you live along the Gulf coast long enough, it's not a matter of if, but when, you will experience a hurricane. I took these pictures on our first trip back to New Orleans after the storm. Coincidentally, it happened to be the exact one year anniversary of the storm. My wife and I were shocked to see the scope and the totality of the destruction. I know its cliche' to describe a scene as looking like a bomb went off, but I really can't think of a better description. Huge sections of the city were totally destroyed and still completely abandoned. It was easy to see why. There was nothing to return to. We've been back to New Orleans several times since I took these pictures, but we don't go nearly as often as we used to. Maybe I'm imagining it, but the place doesn't quite seem to have the same vibe. I'm hoping for the best for New Orleans on this ten year anniversary of hurricane Katrina. It's always been one of my favorite places.
There is a certain unescapable irony here.
Leave it to the attornies to find a way to make money off the homeless.
This 1964 stamp features emperor Menelik II leading his troops to defeat the Italian occupying force in 1894. St George is seen as a ghostly image riding a heavenly horse and assisting the Ethiopians to victory. It's quite a nice stamp.
Nestled along the Price River in eastern Helper, Helper is one of Utah’s classic railroad towns, built around the steep grades that required “helper” locomotives to assist trains climbing Soldier Summit on the old Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad main line. Today, the city still feels like a preserved slice of mid-century America, with vintage neon signs, old motels, weathered brick storefronts, classic gas stations, and murals celebrating its immigrant and mining heritage lining historic Main Street. The rumble of Union Pacific freight trains continues through town, echoing Helper’s roots as a coal and railroad hub where steam locomotives once gathered before tackling the Wasatch grades. Blending rail history, desert scenery, and small-town character, Helper remains one of the most photogenic and atmospheric communities in the American West.
