Although this train was really rolling on the flatlands east of Mojave, the climb up to Tehachapi is severe, and we soon left it behind as we drove that direction ourselves on the parallel highway. Despite our diversions and choice of the slow road, we never saw another train on the Tehachapi line the rest of the day. We couldn't afford to wait an hour or two for this freight to make its way up to the Loop.
