Presented in 4K! On April 27th, 28th, and 29th 2018, Amtrak's Coast Starlight detoured over the famed Tehachapi Pass in Southern California. With this being an opportunity that I just couldn't pass up, I headed up this prior Saturday and caught Northbound train #14, and Southbound train #11 all throughout the Soledad Canyon, High Desert, through the Tehachapi Pass, and down the grade into Bakersfield. Traditionally, the Coast Starlight travels along the former Southern Pacific Coast Line through Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Salinas, and then up to San Jose. Thanks to a number of scheduled track work projects in the Southern California area, Union Pacific forced Amtrak to take this unique detour, and run "express" from Los Angeles to Oakland.
Hop on for this once in a lifetime opportunity of chasing passenger trains through the Tehachapi Pass! All locations are listed in the video.
Thanks for watching!
