Bridge 53.40

Doug Harrop Photography • February 24, 1976

 

Western Pacific F7 No. 913 leads three siblings across the high bridge at the west end of Altamont Pass, California. This trestle and girder combination cross both the Altamont Pass Highway and the Southern Pacific Niles Canyon main line at the same time.

 

WP's San Jose Turn is wrapped around a lefthand curve, with empty auto racks trailing above the girder span.
