23 - Railroad

The railroad tracks in front of you are owned by the Union Pacific Railroad, although you may also see Burlington Northern Santa Fe railcars using the tracks. The Union Pacific is part of the transcontinental railroad system that carries freight across the United States. These tracks have been in use in this area since 1863.

Please go over the railroad tracks and make a right to follow along the tracks and meet back up with the River Walk or Wetlands Walk.
