Nostalgia & History > 2 SP from 1991

1. SP 7471 E 01-91 near Earlimart, CA is a coal train destined for Trona. When SP was the owner it was necessary for this train to traverse both Donner and Tehachapi Passes before reaching its final destination. UP brings it to Yermo and via trackage rights it goes directly to Mojave.
2. SP 7323 E crossing the Kings River just south of Kingsburg, CA 01-91. When UP became the owner of the SP it changed most of this long trestle to a built up dirt fill by just filling in beneath the track. I am not sure what else was done but the trestle was not removed.

Thanks Don,

Grew up in Kingsburg and was wondering the other day going by the bridge something didn't look right. It was the fill.

Keep posting more.
