We didn't do much today other than drive. With one exception... We stopped for a bit in Tehachapi, CA. Railfans familiar with the area will immediately think of the Tehachapi Loop, a 360-degree track loop to help make the climb in limited space to the Tehachapi Pass. I did a railfan field trip to the Loop back in 2004, click here. But, I had never visited the Tehachapi Railroad Depot Museum which is housed in the Tehachapi Depot. The building has quite a history, from the original in 1861 to the new one in 1904 (because of fire), to the one there today following a fire in 2007, finished in 2010. And as luck would have it, a train went by while we were there with a UP locomotive in Rio Grande livery. Don't miss the German Bakery right next door. We got to Nipomo in time for dinner! Today's photos start here.
