Running under trackage rights on the Union Pacific, the Mojave Subdivision connects Southern California and the Central Valley, with the Tehachapi Pass being the toughest running section of the line. With grades and curves up to 2.2%, it's easy to see why! Footage from various points on the Tehachapi Pass, between Caliente and Mojave; including train meets, and the World famous Tehachapi Loop.
