The Tehachapi Loop Overlook Project

Those people who visited the Tehachapi Loop overlook may remember that the viewing area is right beside a busy two lane highway and is unsafe for visitors. So the Friends of the Tehachapi Depot (FOTD) is raising funds to make this a great, but safe spot for Railfans. Donations are very welcome from all over the world.
To get more information on this project, you may visit their website:  https://www.tehachapidepot.com/
