Tehachapi

California's famed Tehachapi "Loop," where the rails of the present day Burlington Northern-Santa Fe and Union Pacific railroads breast the Tehachapi Pass between Bakersfield and Mojave, is one of the seven engineering wonders of the railroad world. This volume begins with the construction and follows through before the merger. Presented is a pageant of freight and passenger trains, about dispatching trains, proposed changes, disasterous floods, earthquakes and wrecks, and about the men who run the trains. The route was formerly operated by Southern Pacific and Santa Fe.
