Tehachapi's Online Community News & Entertainment Guide
Benjamin F. Taylor, 1878
"Tehachapi! is not a sneeze, but the name of a mob of mountain peaks and crags that disputed the right of way with the Southern Pacific Railroad. The heights were impractical, the rocks were immovable, and so the train climbed as high as it could, and crept into a burrow like a fox."
– Benjamin F. Taylor, 1878
