New Span At Colton
Author: surflinerhogger

This may be really old news, but I don't have time to look through all the stuff, so here goes. The burned out portion of the U.P. bridge across the river in Colton just east of the BNSF main has been replaced by a new cement section. It's not conncted yet, with a little gap at each end, but it looks like quite a piece of work. If you're in that neck of the woods, you might want to give it a look. Later all.

This past Sunday, May 26, around Noon, I spotted, Two SP units passing over the 91-215 at Grand Terrace/Colton.

I figured the Santa Ana Bridge was finished, for
no other way for the units to reach that area,
without a connection at old Riverside Jct or at the
xing of the San Jacinto Line.

Now a new mystery if the new bridge is not connected.

I seem to recall that when this subject was broached awhile back, someone said that there were a couple of units and some cars isolated on the south side of the bridge somewhere. But when I went by it six times last week, the last being last Saturday, there was a definite gap between the old and new sections, on both ends.
