I don't know but just tagging this thread to see what pops up.
I camped right there on the loop about 25 years ago, long before much of it was fenced off. Took a lot of pictures, all long since gone. Was an enjoyable trip, even getting woken up every hour or so by a passing train.
I took my son there when he was 2 or 3, and he really enjoyed it. A great place to just sit and watch the trains go by.
If you go into Tehachapi, there is a nice park along the tracks on the east side of town, with a good BBQ joint across the street.

I'd start with the UP Mojave Sub frequencies listed in the RadioReference Database:
I visited the Loop a couple of times back in the early 1990's. Awesome place.
Code:
160.32000 BM CSQ UPMojave14 Road - N Bakersfield to Hiland FM Railroad
160.74000 BM CSQ UPMojave42 Road - Hiland to Rancho FM Railroad
160.320 is the correct road channel for Mojave to Kern Junction (Bakersfield).

Thank you for the reply. I may go there later this summer.
I will load the two channels and give a report later.
It has been several years and look forward to heading up that way.

AAR1414 (160.320Mhz) is the correct channel as was mentioned between Bakersfield and Mojave.

Many of the "classic" shots are private property owned by the Rankin Ranch, which is a working cattle ranch. Make sure you're mindful of the property lines.
