Tehachapi

Tehachapi has served as a rail and road crossing in California's Tehachapi Pass since the late nineteenth century. Set between the southern Sierra Nevada and the Mojave Desert, the city occupies a high, dry mountain corridor long used to link inland California with the south. The Tehachapi Loop, completed in 1876 for the Southern Pacific Railroad, remains a celebrated feat of rail engineering: its track makes a broad curve and passes over itself. Wind turbines across the pass also reflect the area's importance to California's wind-power industry. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Tehachapi Pass and Kern County.
