Location DB > United States > California > South Bay > Dumbarton Rail Corridor > Maps and Historic > SP5242atDumbartonCa-1958-CG.jpg 3 / 8   SP5242atDumbartonCa-1958-CG.jpg Description The only historic picture of the bridge in operation that I found, around 1958. You can see the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct on the right. Notice the extra space on the bridge to the left of the train. The bridge was originally supposed to have rail layed for two tracks in places, including on the Newark Slough Bridge, but the space was never used by rails and as can be seen in this picture, was used for supplies instead.

Posted by rapcw 9/23/2007 6:38 PM | remove   Yeah, both bridges were built with the capacity for two parallel tracks, but the corridor was never expanded beyond the single track and so the space was never utilized for rail traffic.

The days when you could actually talk with yard crew and carry on a conversation. -- Keep those memories guys! Posted by Emperor Wang 10/3/2007 1:15 AM | remove   Trucks suck. We're losing rail yards and spur lines by the boatload here in Canada. I imagine it's the same all over.

They plan to use the old bridge as a siding instead. If you'd like to add a comment, please login or register. All content and images copyright © 2002-2024 UER.CA and respective creators.
