BNSF - San Joaquin River Bridge

Posted November 25, 2019, by Anonymous

This was never a Union Pacific bridge. It was originally an AT&SF (Santa Fe) bridge on their line between Stockton and Richmond, CA. The AT&SF became a part on the BNSF which now owns and operates the line. It is one of three Abt Bascule bridges on this line across the Delta.

You are correct, this is a BNSF line now, in the past and noted on many maps this is listed as Union Pacific line.
