You learn something every day. First I saw this image (not the one above). It got me wondering about the railroad loop displayed. So I typed “Railroad Loop California” into Google and [poof] I found the Tehachapi Railroad Loop.
Pretty neat, if you like civil engineering or railroads or cool images.
I’m sure my friend Brian knows all about this as he’s a railroad geek.
