[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cementmixr [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Ray Dunakin If I remember correctly, potash also comes from Searles Lake in Trona, CA. That's in the Mojave desert. [/quote] Is that the former SP line that had a tunnel fire in the early 80's? (featured in a 1983 Trains article, "Rx For a Broken Jawbone.") [/quote] I just learned that the SP's Jawbone branch goes from Mohave to Searles, where it connects to the Trona RR. Coal is hauled in to Searles for the Trona chemical plant, and Soda Ash and other chemicals are hauled out. Of course, it is Union Pacific now, and not SP. There is a new book on this line: JAWBONE: Sunset on the Lone Pine http://www.omnirr.com/
