Description	A horse and wagon is seen in Beale's Cut in the early days. It was early access road cut by named General Edward Fitzgerald Beale, a landowner and surveyor, who in 1863 made the 90 feet cut to get coaches through. Although the cut still remains, it is now only 30 feet deep, as it suffered a partial collapse. It is located in the Santa Clarita Valley in Los Angeles County and is visible from the Sierra Highway, not far from the intersection of The Old Road and Sierra Highway, just after the first bridge under the Antelope Valley Freeway (State Route 14). This slot-like roadway appeared in many silent western movies.
