Welcome to Tehachapi Loop live webcam in the United States of America. The Tehachapi Loop is a 1,150 meters long spiral railway loop on the Union Pacific Railroad Mojave Subdivision. It crosses the Tehachapi Pass, of the Tehachapi Mountains in Kern County, south-central California. The line connects Bakersfield and the San Joaquin Valley to Mojave in the Mojave Desert.

Rising at a steady 2 % grade, the track gains 23 meters in elevation and makes a 370 meters diameter circle. Any train that is at least 1162 meters long passes over itself going around the loop. At the bottom of the loop, the track passes through Tunnel 9, the ninth tunnel built as the railroad was extended from Bakersfield.

The line averages about 36 freight trains each day, passenger services such as Amtrak's San Joaquin are banned. Its frequent trains and scenic setting make the Tehachapi Loop popular with railfans!
