Western Railroad Discussion > Tehachapi Loop (sort of) QueryDate: 10/27/20 08:01 Tehachapi Loop (sort of) Query Author: billio A week or two ago, it appeared that some sort of construction/refurbishment was occurring at a viaduct downhill from the Loop, just above where single tracking begins for uphill trains.
Looked like work on bridge supports and maybe decking. What were they doing? Just curious... Thanks in advance. Date: 10/27/20 08:30 Re: Tehachapi Loop (sort of) Query Author: czuleget They were replacing the bridge decking it was wood and was replace with Steel.

Date: 10/27/20 10:02 Re: Tehachapi Loop (sort of) Query Author: Curt I know this has been discussed previously, but does anyone have an update on when the MOW work will be complete in the Tehachapi area? I've been trying to plan a trip up there for a few months now. Originally I was told some time in August; then Sept. I've also heard that once they're done at the bridge east of Woodford, they'll move farther west. Anyone with insight, I'd love to hear from you.

Recently they did have windows for concrete tie replacement. That project has concluded. Then they had windows for bridge work at the top end of Woodford. That work has also concluded I believe. At this point I am not aware of any windows. Unless they have yet another new project starting.

Date: 10/27/20 11:11 Re: Tehachapi Loop (sort of) Query Author: cajon Tehachapi has been a night railroad the last few months with all the windows. Look like no windows this week so far. Might be there week off and start back up next week.
Dennis Date: 10/27/20 11:58 Re: Tehachapi Loop (sort of) Query Author: Curt Thanks, Dennis. I'm pretty familiar with the MOW at Tehachapi. Historically it's been done regularly on Monday's each week (at least that's my experience), but this recent work has been ongoing, for the past several months, with work going from 7-3:00 pm, I believe. Just hoping to get any info as to when the entire project will be completed, so I can schedule a trip. Thanks.

I saw four freights (3 eastbound, 1 westbound) within one hour between 2:30 PM and 3:30 PM on the Techachapi Loop Live Webcams.
