Tehachapi Loop CA stall (1182)

Coming up behind the stalled train was another train -- the all white (with graffiti) box cars in the distance. Eventually there were two stopped eastbound trains behind the stalled train and, because much of this is single track, there were multiple westbound trains held up near the cities of Tehachapi and Mojave. Later a BNSF pickup truck came driving across the hill on the right edge of the picture and they apparently fixed the problem on the stalled locomotive. Later, as I was eating dinner east of here in Tehachapi, the train that had been stalled, passed.
