Description Farrel L. Ross, telegraph operator at Bridge, Utah. 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.
