14th June 1997

My first BNSF, Great Northern-inspired, liveried unit in the shape of 9-44CW no. 1089 heads this intermodal train, going uphill at 09.35. The two other units are 8-41CW no. 939 in the Santa Fe "Warbonnet" colours and a cabless B-unit, an SD45-2B no. 5512. I saw a number of cabless units on Tehachapi at this time, but of course they have now all long-gone.
