Salton Sea location assistance required . . . .
Author: spdaylight

Folks

I shot some video back in 2009 & 2011 on the UP mainline on the east side of the Salton Sea as a couple of clips for a new DVD I am working on and I can't find my notes. This trestle is right beside Hwy 111 north of Bombay Beach . . . is there a name for anything close to this? Or a MP?

Thanks in advance!

That's Salt Creek. It is in between Ferrum and Bertram.

It should also be noted that the Union Pacific completed a second span over Salt Creek this year. Double track would has been underway for about one year on an approximately 20-mile section in this area and should be cut-in by the end of the year.

Then "Southern Pacific" will disappear from the current bridge, never to be seen again.

Sad,

The second span was added to the other side (or inland) side of the bridge, so as long as Union Pacific doesn't paint the bridge, the "Southern Pacific" lettering should remain for some time.
