Epsom Salts Monorail however, is inside the Death Valley National Park and accessible via the Fort Irwin Army Base near Tecopa. The sidings of the Trona Railway can be reached by an unsurfaced track from California Highway 178. If carriages are parked on the sidings, these are easy to spot. There are some concrete foundations and ruins of houses in the area. Epsom Salts Monorail The Epsom Salts Monorail or Magnesium Monorail was a short-lived Lartigue Monorail in San Bernardino County, California, in the United States. It was built to carry epsomite (hydrated magnesium sulphate) from a deposit in the Owlshead Mountains to
Magnesium carbonate Magnesium carbonate Magnesium carbonate, MgCO (archaic name magnesia alba), is an inorganic salt that is a white solid. Several hydrated and basic forms of magnesium carbonate also exist as minerals. The most common magnesium carbonate forms are the anhydrous salt called "magnesite" (MgCO) and the di, tri, and pentahydrates known as "barringtonite" (MgCO·2 HO), "nesquehonite" (MgCO·3 HO), and "lansfordite" (MgCO·5 HO), respectively. Some basic forms such as "artinite" (MgCO·Mg(OH)·3 HO), "hydromagnesite" (4 MgCO·Mg(OH)·4 HO), and "dypingite" (4 MgCO· Mg(OH)·5 HO) also occur as minerals. Magnesite consists of white trigonal crystals. The anhydrous salt is practically insoluble in water, acetone, and
