Dropping by the Tehachapi Loop (“the Eight Wonder of the railroading world”) last year en route to Colorado was a highlight of the journey<\/a> and one of Henry’s greatest railfanning experiences ever\u2014which is really saying something!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, this year we planned our first overnight in the cute little railroad town of Tehachapi, and while Margot and Finn chilled out with Seamus, Hen & I set out for some sunset trainspotting. We were thrilled to see multiple trains passing each other & looping over one another via the corkscrew tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Henry worked my big cam (check out his gallery of shots<\/a>) while I flew overhead via my drone. Here’s the fun video we just cut together, featuring a “Big Train” soundtrack by the great Wynton Marsalis & friends:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
