Tehachapi Loop
Ғылым және технология
This video shows a freight train entering and exiting the famous Tehachapi Loop. The train is very long and the video shows it passing over itself on the nearly 3,800 foot loop. This section connects Bakersfield in the San Joaquin Valley to Mojave in Kern County. The loop allows the train to see a steady 2% gradient as it heads over the Tehachapi pass.

Now this the kind of nice picture taking I like to see
Absolutely incredible. When you see this train from so high up, you can really get a feel of just how powerful these locomotives are.
I´m sure: This was the longest train in Notrh America. Wonderful. Thank you. Greetings from Germany
Great fun to watch trains travel on that track.
Fantastic video! Tehachapi is truly an amazing piece of railroad. I’ve been there about a dozen times over the years and never tire watching trains negotiate it. This is probably one of the best videos showing the entire layout from Woodford up through Merced.
OMG. The Finest Loop video ever. Thanks.

Magnífico vídeo e belo lugar! Um dia, pretendo conhecer Tehachapi para apreciar melhor a beleza deste lugar. Estou vendo hoje, 14/09/2023 aqui do Brasil. Acompanho desde 2009 outros vídeos de outros canais e todos foram feitos com muita competência. Parabéns ao Bob Murphy! Abraços fraternos do José.
I love trains, and this is so cool!!
what a wonderful video, congratiúlations! makes me even happier to see the spots i used to observe trains (not birds' view), just watching
How many locomotives to push/ pull those cars in that length and terrain? Absolutely amazing! I see the fascination of railroading in both actual and model.
That is absolutely insane! The drone simply could not keep the whole length of the train inside the shot.
Track Layout Designer: "How many loops are we permitted?" ➿ Train Engineer: "Yes!" 🚂
Great pictures, well captured! 👍👍👍

Very Nice video , in leisure we can enjoy this .
I´ve seen some places where railway try to climb up to some serious hight elevation on short distance by looping but this is the concept taken to highest possible level!

switzerland tops it! Or germany, the "Sauschwänzle-Bahn". Not with this length of trains, but in curves and height difference...

Beautiful. I don’t know why but drone video of trains looks like N scale to me.

I thought that same thing, then I wonder if anyone did the math to find out how much space is needed for a N scale model. Maybe a Basketball court? HO maybe a Baseball diamond? O scale Football field? Just guessing the biggest problem IS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$???
great video...a very good engineer work
Great video! Thanks!

Ist schon faszinierend wie lange so ein "Bandwurm" sein kann. Sind einmal in Kanada neben so einem Güterzug hergefahren, der war auch über 2 km lang.👍😁

Neat! took me a bit to spot the DPU.

What a fabulous video and what a ridiculous consist 😂 Do they not think of us modellers when putting these together? I would need half the UK to model that in N scale 😢
Sencillamente espectacular.
Parabéns belo vídeo. 🇧🇷
Are there many loops on USA railways. They seem rare but essential to climb a grade. I drove the Corona Pass road in CO back 40 years ago, there is a big loop on that with a bridge above and tunnel below where they cross. It was Rollins Pass back when it was in service, shut down when the Moffat tunnel was completed.
Beautiful shots!! Thank you for sharing. We need you to find Big Foot for us with that amazing drone and camera.

Great Video, new sub here, thanks for sharing
Reminds me of the snow piercer climbing up the cokscrew
I saw that from the door of a boxcar in 1970.
Great engineering. Due to different terrain . Hat's Off to our engineers . ,( Ground engineering and Operational staff
The train driver needed a system to allow them to inspect the rearmost wagons on their train. (It was originally built before closed circuit cameras and drones have effectively taken over that role)

Elevation change? Necessitates the additional track to maintain grade?.? Just a guess...

How many engine and how many freight car do they have ?

No music please
Imagine the wheels squealing, I live near a small curve and the squealing is deafening.

Красиво конечно ! но не понятно , зачем такую петлю сделали ?
This allows the very heavy trains to make a five metre gradient rise in the shortest possible safe distance.

To ease the grade, as it is its a 2 percent grade. If the railroad had made it a straight line the grade would have been much too steep.
