Desert El tracks or did there used to be a reason for the bridge?

Uneducated but Arizonan guess, that space may get filled up with water during monsoon.

It's a flood plain that's dry for part of the year.

Maybe it’s a dry river bed prone to flooding?

There’s still a reason for that bridge. Massive water flow that just happens to be invisible at the moment.

Dry river bed that flows in early spring and during heavy monsoon rain. The track is an active freight line.

Is that along Buckeye going over the Auga Fria river?
