Ancient water distribution system found under Union Pacific Railroad tracks

2015-01-24 06:22:20| Railroads - Topix.net

Archaeologists in San Gabriel have uncovered an important piece of Southern California's history: the foundation to an ancient water distribution system that has laid buried a few feet beneath the surface of the old Union Pacific Railroad tracks for more than century. Alameda Corridor-East Construction Authority's lead archaeologist John Dietler said the feature, a series of stone-lined canals and reservoirs, is the missing piece of an important story behind the success of the San Gabriel Mission and ultimately, the springboard to the growth of Los Angeles.
