Strongknob and the Great Salt Lake
Doug Harrop Photography • June 4, 1986
Mr. Harrop stepped outside of his eastbound work train briefly to capture this compelling view as crews dump rip rap to shore up the SP causeway at Strongknob, 50 miles west of Ogden, Utah.
Little did Southern Pacific know, this effort would be futile as a series of big storms would arrive in days that would destroy this and 11 miles of track, closing the main line to through trains for 77 days.
