Posted by John Shine on October 16, 2014  Wow, Fantastic view and shot Jason! Posted by James Belmont on October 16, 2014  ZSKDL (Expedited - Selkirk, NY - Delano-McFarland, CA). Posted by John E Gower on October 16, 2014  Fantastic shot. What a great engineering fete Posted by Steve Larson on October 17, 2014  Great photo & info, Jason. Does anyone know what the cost per mile was in 1959 to complete the causeway? Posted by Offset on October 17, 2014  Stunning shot. Well done. Posted by George W. Hamlin on October 17, 2014  Super! Great conception and execution. Posted by Moss Miller on October 17, 2014  Does the track ever get washed over? Posted by Janusz Mrozek on October 17, 2014  Excellent! Posted by Steve Larson on October 17, 2014  In 1984, a HUGE year of precipitation, the tracks to the south end of the Great Salt Lake (former Western Pacific) had to be built up (between 10-15 feet) due to too much H20. It likely affected this route as well. Driving Interstate 80 (I-80) was enough to make one nervous as the tracks were 10+ feet above the road. If there were a leak, no place to go. Posted by pjflstc on October 19, 2014  Can anyone tell me why it was built with the "S" curve. I would think a straight shot would be more fuel efficient. Posted by Jason Cary on October 19, 2014  I believe the S-Curve is the the connection between the "new" causeway and the old alignment of the wooden trestle. Posted by Eugene Armer on October 22, 2014  Magnificent shot Jason. I guess a 'salad shooter' is slang for perishable priority traffic in refrigerator cars?
