SP SD9's 5484 and 5477 helpers at Tehachapi on May 22, 1956.

The same train as in the previous frame, Southern Pacific SD9's 5484 and 5477 are helpers on an interesting consist at Tehachapi on May 22, 1956. Notice the "put-put" following the train and the searchlight signal turned 90 degrees to the track. (Perhaps the semaphores were being replaced here at that time.)
