Eleven miles of Southern Pacific's right of way over the Great Salt Lake were severely damaged by storms that passed through the region in June of 1986. Even though the route was shut down to through traffic for 77 days, the causeway was teaming with rip rap and ballast trains working to rebuild and return the line to service.
