Again, being a slowpoke, here are some shots from my railfan trip August 20-22.
I learned some things about the Great Salt Lake that I never knew on this trip. The most surprising was that the lake itself is ony 35 feet at its deepest point, and the average depth is only 14 feet!
In 1902 the Southern Pacific Railroad built a trestle across the Great Salt Lake, cutting off 43 miles of the original Central Pacific route from Ogden UT to Lucin UT. In the 50’s the trestle was replaced with a dirt and rock causeway.
