Remarks & Notes

Along the Dotsero Cutoff, the tracks cross from one side of the Colorado River to the other multiple time. One such bridge is right around MP 149.5 in red canyon. I am not sure if red canyon is the official name, but I do know that, as a kid, I always referred to these mountains as sunburnt mountains. A westbound oil train crosses the Colorado River as thunderstorms build to the east.
