I have a bunch of CD's of old trains. Big Boy is mentioned in there somewhere, I will have to set aside time sitting on my az with doing nothing to catch up.
BUT... What caught me was that the year I run west for Beneke, traversed Tehachapi often. Back then; 1957/58 going west, you would see one of these puffabillys sitting off down to your right off US 466 chuffing and waiting. Westbound freight come along he would whip out, catch him, and double head him over Tehachapi and help brake him off the other side. Then drop off, take the siding, catch the next heavy eastbound and cross him over.
From friend who have traveled it, I understand they have spiraled the way up and over and down. But then, it was root hog or stall/rollback.
What if it Snows?
