  • Do check out this great video: • Tehachapi Loop in real... [Sony HDR-FX7E] - The Tehachapi Loop is a 0.73-mile (1.17 km) long 'spiral', or helix, on the Union Pacific Railroad line through Tehachapi Pass, of the Tehachapi Mountains in Kern County, south-central California. ..
    The loop gains a total of 77 feet in elevation as the track ascends at a sustained 2% grade.[1] A train more than 4,000 feet (1.2 km) long (about 85 boxcars) thus passes over itself going around the loop...(Wikipedia)

      Why do you need this loop?

    • @bobh6728
      @bobh6728 2 роки тому

      @@Deontjie It is so trains can climb over a mountain range. Freight train lines usually stay below a 1.5% grade. Even with the loop the grade is 2.2%. It would be a lot higher without the loop.

      Actually you need braking downhill, they use dynamic braking which converts kinetic energy into heat by passing it through a high resistance conductor and they use a fan to blow hot air out

    From the point we first see the the locomotive in this video entering the Tehachapi Loop complex of curves/loop, to the point we see the last car disappear, is about 2.25 track miles. Google Earth and USGA topographical maps show the total gain in height is about 225 feet in the video. The 77 feet Wikipedia mentions is just the tight, about 270° inner loop

      JOSEALVIM100 Sí mi amigo. Dios es realmente el creador origonal. Es que la palabra se saca de su contexto origonal por tantos y utiliza demasiado flojo. Especialmente en los artículos escritos y en los medios. Los escritores usan la palabra en casi cada frase y nunca asocia el verdadero significado de Dios.
