Tehachapi and its Surroundings in a Mural

Found: A picture of Tehachapi, found in Tehachapi and done by Tehachapi artist Lyn Bennett. To be more precise, there’s more than just the city of Tehachapi in this mural. This is actually Tehachapi and its surroundings in a mural. In it are the Tehachapi Mountains of California, the towns near it, a few highways and some local landmarks, which include some Gas Stations in the area.

And might I say I found this mural at one of those gas stations, too. I hear that there are other gas stations here with murals, some of which have been done by the same artist.

Apart from the towns and roads of the area, the mural gives us an idea about the farming done here, wind farms in Tehachapi, the natives of the area, and also a bit about the Tehachapi Loop.

The Tehachapi Loop is a loop in the railroad here. As the tracks pass through the Tehachapi Pass, it loops around a hill allowing trains — mostly cargo ones — to gradually navigate the granite slopes of the mountain pass. Often a longer train crosses itself here, as a part of the train is in the tunnel and another part of it is on the loop above the tunnel.
