I thought I'd start with one of the easiest ones that I could think of.
I mean if you can't find this place, you need to turn in your Railfanning License



Good Luck!

Tehachapi loop - traversed by my family in 1954 on the San Francisco Chief.

 

It's the Dolly Madison snack cakes logo!

 

"you need to turn in your Railfanning License"

where do I send my license:tb-hissyfit:

 

You knew I was joking, right?

:tb-biggrin::tb-biggrin::tb-biggrin:

 

Obviously an imperfect pretzel, though I won't say what else came to this Dirty Ole Man's mind.....:tb-tongue:

 

Congratulations, Phil





Now for extra credit, can you give us the timetable name of the siding?

Sent it to your nearest Homeland Security Office

Dan, finally one I recognize! Let's see, from the shadows and hemispherical flushing rotation, it's gotta be Quito, Ecuador!!!!!
:tb-biggrin:

 

No clue. No, that's not my guess at the siding name; It means I have no clue. :embarassed:

 

Is the siding Walong siding?

 

Yes!
The siding on the loop itself was built in 1909 and named "Walong" in honor of District Roadmaster W. A. Long.
(quoted from John Signor's book "Tehachapi")
