Tehachapi Loop is a railroad location on Tehachapi Pass in southern California. The track was built by Southern Pacific Railroad, which was acquired by Union Pacific Railroad in the 1990s. BNSF Railway operates over the pass via trackage rights inherited from the 1995 merger between Santa Fe Railroad and Burlington Northern Railroad; the Santa Fe had operated over the pass through a trackage rights agreement with Southern Pacific.
