  • RAILFANS! See aerial drone video of Tehachapi Loop train tracks in California. Trains are over a mile long! See the loop that keeps the railway incline at 2% grade so trains can easily climb the valley floor. Video is captured with a Phantom 4P drone. Song title: Never Coming Back, by William L Newman, Licensed from Audioblocks.com

    The colors are so crisp and the perspective so unique, it took me a little bit to tell it was real railroad and not a model.

    I came from Nova Scotia to visit Tehachapi Loop; 5800 km. I was watching these very trains live! So this video gets all the thumbs up.

      Thank you very much! I get that comment a lot, people thinking it's computer generated because of it's clarity. I probably did too much color grading, adding too much contrast and saturation. It was captures with a Phantom 4 Pro, which has an amazing camera with a 1" sensor.

    In Canada we have something similar to this called the Spiral tunnels. There are two of them almost back to back and both are inside a mountain! When the lead end emerges it crosses over the tail end. The vertical rise is approx 50 feet per tunnel.

      @TomSpurlock  5 років тому +1

      If you do stop by someday, look for the monument noting the National Historical Civil Engineering Landmark along the country road (Woodford-Tehachapi Rd) on the southeast side of the loop. From that monument, go East about 500' where you'll find a dirt road with a chain gate. You can part at that gate in the dirt. Walk north on that dirt road to get the best view of the trains. Go all the way to the end to the top of the hill (1/4mi hike) for an epic view of the tracks. From there you can see up and down the valley with about 5 miles of track visible. This is where I fly the drone from.

      Thanks Byron! This location is one of my favorites to visit annually in April, because it's green during that month. However it appears I won't make it this year, since we're all in seclusion. Bummer to miss a year at Tehachapi. It's about a 3hr trip for me from home in Orange County, but it makes for a good day trip. Planning the flights, the angles of the shots, and the editing goals is a year long process to get something different every year, even though it's the same place. That's another reason I visit just once a year. Maybe my next trip there will be in the winter and shoot the loop with snow all around. That would be different.
