Kevin, back then, the crews rode high. It had to do with turning up retainers, passing signals
and also, to manually apply brakes if ever needed. It was part of the job on both Divisions.

John, that's either the second or third bridge up the hill out of Agua Caliente. ,The first one
is just out of the station and could be seen from the highway. . This one looks like the one
that is not curved. The other one is just out of the tunnel less than a mile from the station.

Spectacular light, great image.
