This remote NPS site is NW of Salt Lake City above the Great Salt Lake in a, very dry, remote area. See the web pages that give the details and photos of this very special site. It was selected by RR routing engineers as the best route across this part of the West in the 1860s. Today, most of the rail traffic goes thru the lower part of the Salt Lake Basin including some trestles over arms of the lake.
