Needles Underpass I'm the official unofficial bridge troll for the 8ft underpass located in Needles CA. Hubby worked in rail tech before switching jobs to move out here.

In late 2015, my husband and I bought this adorable little house in the middle of the desert. No, we don't really hear the trains inside, our walls are river rock and stucco (14-15in thick.) Who knew the train tracks and little underpass would bring us so much entertainment! Being from a small town back east, Needles just felt right, in a way, for me. The trains have been cool for him. Some hate u

s, others love us and what we do....mainly me though. I started the page to bring awareness to the underpass and it's happenings. If I was home and heard a bridge impact, I would take pics and gather a little info, if possible. I was asked to take the page down by the city. The railroad was using it as ammo against the city. Of course I didn't. BNSF didn't know how much is was actually getting hit. The final straw was when a propane truck got wedged under. It was closed March 2020

The city and BNSF got together and agreed on the new protection pipes to be installed so the bridge wouldn't be compromised. It took over 3 years to get everything approved and installed. The underpass was reopened June 29, 2023. In April/May 2023, we added cameras to the house so we could keep an eye on things when we were not home. I had picked up a part time summer job so they were nice to have. To our surprise shortly after, we found out about the reopening being soon. While we didn't add the camera to be for the underpass, certainly served double duty till another dedicated cam could be installed. Several amazing bridge fans were able to help with donations so it was up and going much sooner. It was installed Sept 2, 2023.

It was closed for a little while today but nothing was going on. It seems whoever is coordinating the closures are out of sync with whoever is doing the work.
