| Description |
Shoreline of Bridge, Utah. When the Great Salt Lake was low, pelicans would die on the shore due to undernourishment and salt covered wings. Bridge was a small telegraph station on the north shore of the Great Salt Lake built in June 1930. Built up on twenty-ton boulders, Bridge consisted of two railroad tracks, the telegraph station, a box car, and two small shacks. In 1945 as the demand for telegraph operators declines, Bridge was abandoned. |
