Ex UP main |
Description: |
This unassuming piece of track used to be the Hinkle OR Spokane WA UP mainline. That was before Joso bridge was built. After Joso, this line became a branchline, eventually being torn out in hte late 80s, with segments in towns (such as this piece here) renaming as industrial spurs. |
