Description
Christmas Buckboard Tehachapi California by Floyd Snyder
This old wagon sits at a crossroads just outside Tehachapi, California. It sits there all year round and then during the Christmas Season the ranch owners decorate with Christmas decorations.
Tehachapi is famous for the Tehachapi Loop, an engineering marvel of its day and remains an important artery of the Union Pacific system today. The loop was constructed in the latter half of the 19th century as part of Southern Pacific's main line through southern California, which had to cross the Tehachapi Mountain range. Its intent was to gain elevation at a manageable gradient and has worked so well for nearly 125 years that it has remained virtually unchanged and in regular use. When the hobby of railfanning began to gain steam in the mid-20th century folks flocked to the site to not only watch the trains cross over themselves but also for the area's stunning scenery.
