A sunken ship has emerged from the water of Great Salt Lake in Utah as drought lowered the water level. The vessel was previously a part of the Southern Pacific Railroad fleet and was used to construct the Lucin Cutoff, a railroad trestle across the lake from Ogden to Lucin. The vessel carried men to and from the work site and also was used to move barges. ABC4 (Salt Lake City, Utah), Dec 20, 2022
