Middle River - San Joaquin River Delta

Southbound Amtrak  San Joaquin  - Middle River, California - September 1992

Middle River, California is one of those places where you can be just several hundred feet from a road that  would take almost an hour to reach by car. The Santa Fe route across the San Joaquin Delta is almost completely straight, but highway access is round about. I spent the night in my trusty Honda to be there this September morning in 1992, and caught the two trains shown above.



The bridges at Middle River on Google Maps. The east bridge is the top map.
