This gallery includes photos taken within the past several months. It is meant to give a real-time view of the railroading scene in the area. I see it as kind of a railroad window to the Bakersfield area and Tehachapi from your computer at home. From time to time, I will remove the oldest photos. Some will re-appear in other galleries, while others will just go away.
