Tehachapi Loop

Completed in 1876 by the Southern Pacific, the loop is considered to be one of the seven wonders of the railroad world (according to the National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark plaque at the site).  The Horseshoe Curve (1854) and Allegheny Portage Railroad (1834) are also National Historic Civil Engineering landmarks.
