Salt Lake City TRAX
Sandy Line 7200S & 7800S

It is here that a unique feature of the line is featured. There is a old narrow Railroad bridge over State St that Trax now uses. Instead of building a new bridge or single-tracking the bridge, they use a gauntlet track. Basically both tracks cross each other to the narrow width, but there are no switch points. The track is signal protected.
