Mojave Subdivision passenger stations

I want to create a passenger service session on the default TRS2012 Mojave route, but noticed that the stations are all gone, meaning that I’d need to recreate them in the session layer. Where were all the stations located during the height of passenger service on the prototype railway?

For the most part, the only stations you'd need to worry about are Tehachapi, Bakersfield and Mojave. Mojave and Bakersfield do not have stations in the route but Tehachapi does-ish. You CAN add stations at locations such as Woodford, but that won't be very prototypical.
 
This is the schedule from April 1957 for Southern Pacific's West Coast, a daily Sacramento to Los Angeles passenger train, which stopped only at Bakersfield and Mojave, while Tehachapi was a conditional (Flag) stop. http://www.streamlinerschedules.com/concourse/track7/westcoast195707.html
And here's the schedule from June 1954 for Santa Fe's San Francisco Chief, a daily Chicago to Oakland passenger train, which stopped also only at Bakersfield and Mojave, but didn't stop at Tehachapi at all. http://www.streamlinerschedules.com/concourse/track8/sanfranchief195407.html
Here's the April 1965 schedule for Santa Fe's San Francisco Chief. Notice that it still serves Bakersfield and Mojave, but Mojave is now a Flag stop. http://www.streamlinerschedules.com/concourse/track8/sanfranchief196506.html
Here's the March 1971 schedule for Santa Fe's San Francisco Chief, the last schedule on this website before Amtrak formed, and the train still serves Bakersfield and Mojave, with Mojave still a Flag stop. http://www.streamlinerschedules.com/concourse/track8/sanfranchief197104.html
