The Tehachapi Loop is in the same category as CPR's Spiral Tunnels and PRR's Horseshoe Curve ....... it's one of those railway engineering landmarks that you just have to see. Located within sight of Hwy 99 , north east of Tehachapi Ca, it can be fun to get to. Winding dirt roads and few signs make the trip exciting. From the best viewing sight, on a slope to the south, the loop looks like an excellent N-scale layout. Horn blasts at nearby level crossings will allow you time to get ready to take pictures. As the train progresses through the loop it is possible to take a photo and capture three parts of the train. Lucky rail-fanners will see 2 trains going in opposite directions.
