Back in the 1980s my job took me to Salina several times. South of town a few miles was the tiny burg of Bridgeport, where MP had a long passing track along the Pueblo main. UP’s Salina-McPherson branch also paralleled the MP (separated by just a few yards) for 3-4 miles from there into Lindsborg. It was an odd sight – three parallel tracks in the middle of nowhere – with just the Bridgeport elevator to otherwise mark an empty, empty spot. All three tracks are long gone, with little evidence they were ever there.
