Remarks & Notes

The natural light from the starry sky lights up the iconic landmark in Californian railroading. A BNSF northbound is seen painting out the right of way while descending down the mountain and the Tehachapi Loop, from Tunnel 10 to Woodford, in this 14 minute time exposure. Along with the light of the rising moon, the Milky Way above, illuminates the scene below on a warm summer night in Southern California.
