The World Famous Tehachapi Railroad Loop One of the Railroad Wonders of the World
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Check out this drone video of one of the world's most well known (and unusual) rail passes, compliments of canyonrunvideos. It's called the Tehachipi Loop, and it's what's known as a helix. Owned by the Union Pacific, the loop connects the San Joaquin Valley in south-central California with the Mojave Desert. The loop was completed in 1876, and was considered a significant engineering feat at the time. Trains over about 1.2k meters (around 4k) will cross themselves as they run through the helix.
