Photograph of Southern Pacific Tehachapi Loop, showing mountains obscuring the shot, May 1924 (August 1929?). To the far right, a bending railroad track is visible next to a small mountain and passes to the left over a support bridge. At center, the railroad track becomes visible and is seen moving farther to the left. In the far background to the left, the curved track once again becomes visible. The track continues moving right until it is obscured by the large mountain. Several trees can be seen lining the track on either side, and trees also appear on the mountain that obscures the track. In the extreme foreground, several trees and utility poles are visible. In the extreme background, a large mountain range spotted with vegetation can be seen.
