"Tunnel gloss" at Woodford

In December 1980 a quartet of dirty SP helper locomotives drift downgrade at Woodford, CA
Thanks Don for the picture of the old Southern Pacific tunnel motors at one of my favorite railfaning spots. This is milepost 349, that's what I use for my nickname on T.O. ( I even used a picture of it in one of the photo contests a few months ago about favorite railfan sites, didn't win though, oh well.)
I'll bet those locomotives are heading west, downgrade, I can't see anyone in the east facing cab. It's probably a set of helpers heading back to Bakersfield or the Bena helper siding to help another train over Tehachapi.
That cantilever signal and the other tall signal have been removed because that little siding is now only a spur track.
Please post more of the Southern Pacific over Tehachapi. LUV UM!!!!!!!!!
 
You are absolutely correct, Daylight. I have rectified the error.
