One of the coolest things about The SD&AE

...is the different terrain this line goes through. From the coast, through the mountains into the desert and below sea level to 3800 feet. I love this picture and will replicate this near Plaster City on the layout. The mainline is covered with blowing sand. I wonder how they cleared it when got like snow and covered the rails. Did a covered wagon have a snow plow or something on the front and push it a side?
