pH Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I think, from the remarks on this picture, that those bridges are on the route of a previous version of the road, not the railway: https://www.railpictures.net/photo/361316/ 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have traveled in that area a lot of times over the years as a professional truck driver along the Interstate 70(I-70) freeway and U.S. Routes 6/191. Four different railroads run in the Book Cliffs area: Union Pacific, BNSF, Utah Railway, and Amtrak. Wendell Idaho, USA 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendell1976 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Here's a picture of a Union Pacific train in my hometown of Compton, California. The train is exiting from the Mid-Corridor Trench of the Alameda Corridor and heading southbound towards the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. The Downtown Los Angeles skyline is in the background on the left. The iconic Los Angeles City Hall(the tall, white building) is in the background above the tracks. The Alameda Corridor is a freight rail "expressway" that runs parallel to Alameda Street between the two ports and Downtown Los Angeles. The Corridor eliminated more than 200 street-level railroad crossings to keep the traffic flowing.
