Looking towards Hyde Road Junction on the former Fallowfield Loop line. The Northern end spur into what was Reddish TMD would have been directly behind me to the left hand side.
Apologies for the poor quality, after having these prints developed I soon learned that my camera had decided to 'jack' altogether. Included purely for historical interest.
In the 1870's the Southern Pacific (Central Pacific) Railroad sought to link their rails in central California to those in Southern California. The path was blocked by the rugged Tehachapi Mountain range, which acts as an east-west barrier between Bakersfield and Los Angeles. Since construction directly south was impractical, the Southern Pacific Railroad decided to go southeast to Mojave, through the Tehachapi Pass. The summit at Tehachapi Pass was 4000'. Construction from Bakersfield to Caliente was somewhat routine, but from that point on the elevation going east rises quickly. From Caliente to the summit (now the City of Tehachapi) the rise is 2,735 feet. The maximum grade permitted was 2.2%. By routing the track alongside the slopes of the Tehachapi foothills, engineer William Hood could envision completing the task. However, just east of Keene, there was an apparently unsolvable problem. An increase in elevation of nearly 80 feet was required, unattainable using typical designs .
The problem was solved by constructing a unique loop. Going southeasterly from Keene, a train first passes through an entry tunnel. The track then does a complete counterclockwise loop, passing over the entry tunnel before continuing easterly. (See sketch below). The loop is sized to have a length adequate to achieve the needed gain in elevation. The result is a loop 3,799' long, with a typical diameter of about 1210 feet. By continuing to gain elevation throughout the loop, engineer Hood was able to make up the needed elevation (about 77' rise in the loop). With modern freight trains, often more than a mile long, the locomotive passes over (or under, depending upon direction) the final cars of its own train!
The entire track from Bakersfield to the summit was completed July 10, 1876. In all, in addition to the loop, there are 18 tunnels with a total length of 8,240'. There are 8,300
Dogwood week 17: Loop lighting.
I had not really given much thought to specific lighting techniques. My approach so far has been just trial and error. So it was pretty interesting to tackle a very specific lighting technique. I think I'm definitely going to make more use of it in the future.
Many thanks to my model.

Mod TnT Barbie wearing the mini dress 'Loop Scoop' from 1970. This came originally with yellow pilgrim shoes, which I have .... somewhere. hehe. The dress is yellow cotton with integral shorts and a wool looped skirt attached.
Lightweight 2M.Moxon loop antenna built using the redundant top sections of fishing poles and a short length on plastic tube {water pipe}.
No damage is caused to these sections in this design, the clips holding wire elements were cut from scraps of ptfe. Connections at the feed point could be housed in a small plastic box with a bnc or other connector but this will add to the weight. For the end insulators PVC tubing that’s a push fit onto the wire elements is used.
Wire dimensions came from the Moxon Rectangle Generator found from a google search, then slightly tweaked with antenna analyser for best match.

"...why would an orphanage run by a religious order owe property taxes in the first place?
'What’s really funny in the film is how confusing the property tax system really is,' Pappas said. 'The film, unbeknownst probably to the filmmakers, points that out. The question becomes, where do you go to pay?'
Most fans probably never thought about ways in which the story diverges from real life. Near the end of the film, Jake and Elwood pay the tax bill in the office of the Cook County assessor, who was played by Steven Spielberg. Actually, people pay their tax bills to the treasurer." -- Daily Southtown, 8/4/2022
