The famous Tehachapi Loop is located in the Tehachapi Mountains of California and is a spiral loop on the Union Pacific Railroad (originally built by the Southern Pacific Railroad in the 1870s). The loop allows trains to manage a significant elevation gain over a relatively short distance. What makes it particularly famous is that long trains (over 4,000 feet) can actually pass over themselves as they navigate the loop. An average of 36 trains per day pass though here.

Sᴜᴍɪᴛ on Instagram: "Hidden in the dry hills of California lies one of the most brilliant engineering achievements of the 19th century — the Tehachapi Loop, completed in 1876. This massive spiral track was created to help trains climb steep mountain grades that were once impossible for locomotives to scale. The track stretches about 1,200 meters and loops over itself, rising nearly 23 meters in elevation in a single circle — meaning when long trains pass through, the locomotive often crosses abo

sciencephobia on Instagram: "Most drivers pass it without realizing they’re witnessing one of the smartest railway tricks ever built. The Tehachapi Loop is a 150-year-old engineering masterpiece - a spiral track that lets trains climb mountains by literally passing over themselves. Built in 1876, this 0.73-mile curve lifts trains 77 feet in elevation while keeping the grade gentle enough for heavy freight. Long trains cross over their own tail cars. Engines glide above the caboose of the same tr
