Snaking its way through the may curves between Rowen and Woodford, including a horseshoe curve, UP 8132 leads a heavy manifest bound for West Colton up Tehachapi. The head-end power and a number of cars behind the units are passing the site of a once bustling quarry here that even had it's own spur track, dubbed appropriately "Rock Spur." The quarry used the railroad to transport it's heavy rock material into the Central Valley were it helped build numerous Kern County highways. While the spur track and quarry have since vanished, the concrete stands for a 50,000 gallon steel water tank, which once feed Southern Pacific's water column No. 1, still remains and can be spotted seven cars back from the power of this manifest.
