Very Nice of you to Meet with your Subscribers out in Public. Your Location for Trains is the Most Interesting location around the US. Great Engineering. 👍
As the weather gets warmer I won't be able to head back out to eastern CA, but I've yet to visit the Loop. I'll definitely have to check it out sometime soon! I'd assume it doesn't get quite as hot out there as Trona haha
1,440 feet. If you haven't seen it, I have a video showing it being set off the train at Woodford, and another of it being installed. Thanks for checking it out!
Hay, Mark. Could you please fill us in on what happened to the Ranch? I know that the young guy running the ranch didn't like railfans. He accosted us about trespassing on RR property a couple times about 8-10 years ago. Now my friend works for UP.
The entirety of the Loop Ranch was purchased by a nature conservancy last summer. The Loop, at track level, is no longer accessible to the public as the RoW road now has a locked gate just off Woodford-Tehachapi Rd.
@@MarkClayMcGowan Thank you, Mark. "Trains" magazine did an article on the Tehachapi loop back in 1976 and my aging father asked me to drive him to the loop. It was a wonderful father-and-son trip.
@@MarkClayMcGowan hello , I live in Florida and I would like to visit that rail loop , believe it or not I am a fan of train , one day we will see each other there. 🚂🚂🚅🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃

Great video as always Mark! I’m shocked to hear the Loop Ranch has been sold! I’m sorry to hear you can’t access at track level anymore.
Very cool. Thanks for filming. You seem like a really nice dude.
Thank you! I really enjoy social interaction and sharing my time with these folks!

No. although Tehachapi does see occasionally see triple digits, it's pretty rare. It does regularly get into the 90s though.
so cool Mark!

Great video Mark will be there June 9th and 10th I'll get ahold of you before then Gary
I'll be busy the 10th, but can probably do the 9th as long as nothing pops up by then.
Hey Mark. Do you have any idea how long the welded rail they haul is? Thanks, Mark, for the great videos you do. Later Robert

Thanks for checking it out!
The Loop Ranch has been vacated? When and How? Did one of the railroads buy it? Is the Loop road passable by the public at all?

I'm an engineer for Union Pacific I know exactly where you're at. I go the loop alot I don't know if anyone is there but I always blow the horn 📯
And everyone appreciates that you do! Thanks for being one of the cool ones, and not one of those who just think they're cool!
The city built an observación deck ?
The Friends Of The Depot, who operate the Tehachapi Depot Museum, funded the construction.

Just let me know. I'll try and make sure I'm available!
Who maintains the worlds on the side of the track
If you mean the roads, the railroads take care of their right of way.
How much train traffic is on the loop per day? 🙂
Averages 30-35 trains every 24 hours. You can see 5 trains in an hour or be there for hours and not see any. It's always a crapshoot!
@@MarkClayMcGowan Thank you. Today are more trains then 1990s?
It's about the same
Mark, are the snakes on the move now?
Yes! It is definitely snake season!
