Visit the Tehachapi Loop and view the same train cross over itself as it climbs in elevation. Daily train meets and passes. Great photo opportunities. This property is on 20 Acres and about 15 minutes outside of town. No city lights allow for an awesome view of stars. Bring your telescopes!

A Rail Fan Mecca
A perfect location and great accommodations. Comfy queen bed, hot coffee, microwave, frigid, and gas BBQ, if so inclined.
The hosts provide a great orientation and offer a deep history of the property. In addition to suggestions nearby sites well worth the visit.
It’s a great opportunity to learn California railroad history and see for 1st hand just how important early California commerce was, and still is.
A great family experience. 5 stars
