the Loop in Tourist Class
Author: mp345

Here are three pictures from an April 1982 visit to the Tehachapi Loop. The first one is of an adequately powered Santa Fe train speeding by us at Bakersfield. The second is my favorite was of "experiencing" the loop itself, and the third shows our 5 mid-train helpers shoving uphill - I hope whoever lives at that house doesn't mind the sound of squealing flanges.

mp345,
Thanks for sharing your ride over the Loop.  You even managed to bag a new snoot in that first shot.  I really like the perspective in that second shot.  Looking at it reminds me of my trip over the Loop.  Truly one of the better memories for me.  Thanks again.

Ahh... Railroading through the lens of a Gallo White Port bottle. Nonpareil!
