UPRR Train Crosses Colorado River at Yuma
UPRR Train Crosses Colorado River at Yuma
The Colorado River bridges are just north of the Yuma station site, with the former U.S. Highway 80 two-lane bridge adjacent to  Union Pacific’s single track railway bridge.
At this point, somewhat unexpectedly to the casual map observer, California lies north of Arizona, with the historic prison on the river’s edge.
