Walden Siding

Transportation
3
Walden Siding, at mile 697.5 from San Francisco, was built nearly 30 years after the laying of the track and reflects ever increasing traffic and constant upgrading and improvement over the years. As many as 10 trains a day used the Promontory branch, making sidings such as this one necessary so that traffic could flow smoothly in both directions.
