July 2001

$25.00$1,600.00

This curious structure—it’s just one of 34 support structures along its 13.4 mile (21.6 km) route having 5 control stations, and climbing 7,600 feet (2,300 m) up the Inyo Mountains—was built in 1911 onward by the Saline Valley Salt Company, to haul 99% pure salt in buckets, carrying 700 pounds (320 kg) each, t0 Owens Valley. At 5.5 miles per hour (8.9 km/hr), 20 tons of salt could be moved every hour. For a multitude of reasons, the tram’s solvency was always a challenge. Today the Saline Valley Salt Tram is in the National Register of Historic Places.
