Jacob Nelson General Looks like they ended up pulling those nearby tracks? I'm guessing the dead ended anyway 11/10/2010 9:31:56 AM
The Slidebroker image by John Hill General The tracks under the bridge were remains of the ex-GN passenger mainlines to the Stone Arch Bridge and the "Lower D" Yard serving the Pillsbury "A" Mill which ceased operation long before the bridge collapsed. The yard tracks were only used for storage and were shortened so the replacement new bridge would have lower clearance, allowing the overhead freeway to be more level. 11/10/2010 10:36:01 AM
