Drone Footage Captures the Great Salt Lake Train Cutting Through Pink and Blue Salt Water

Striking drone footage captured the contrasting colors of the Great Salt Lake in Utah, on September 1.

The video uploaded to YouTube shows the Southern Pacific Railroad acting as a dividing line in between the two bodies of water, one a deep blue and the other a striking pink.

Uploader Justin McFarland told Storyful that the presence of the train causeway prevented the bodies of water from mixing, creating different levels of salinity and color. Credit: Justin McFarland via Storyful
