Engineering Feat of the Tehachapi Loop in California
The Tehachapi loop in Kern County and the San Fernando traverse in Los Angeles County stand as two major 19th century railway engineering feats. The loop through Tehachapi passes 13 tunnels and a high bridge, circling a butte to gain elevation and reduce grade. The project employed thousands of workers, including 4,000 Chinese laborers at peak, and is praised by foreign engineers as a historic railroad marvel.
