Spots Near This Camera
Pit River Bridge (Shasta Lake)
The Pit River Bridge is the only double-deck road-rail bridge of its kind in California, carrying Interstate 5 on its upper deck and Union Pacific Railroad on its lower deck over Shasta Lake. Built in 1942 as part of the Shasta Dam project, this 3,588-foot steel deck truss span—officially the Veterans of Foreign Wars Memorial Bridge—is structurally the highest double-decked bridge in the United States, standing 500 feet above the original Pit River bed. Watching Union Pacific freight and Amtrak's daily Coast Starlight cross the bridge against the backdrop of Shasta Lake makes it a one-of-a-kind trainspotting destination.
Dunsmuir (Downtown)
Historic UP crew change point on the Shasta Route in Northern California, where the Valley and Black Butte subdivisions meet. About 18 trains daily, with the town's downtown offering street-level proximity to the main line.
