Salt-tolerant tomatoes

Two of my favorite tomatoes seem to be quite salt tolerant (as far as salt index goes; I'm not sure about sodium chloride specifically). These are Brandywine Pink and my early yellow Galapagos Island tomato. Canary Bell peppers also seem quite tolerant (it even seems to prefer a high salt index; but peppers in general might; I'm not sure).

While I haven't tested Galapagos Island as heavily with the salt index as Brandywine Pink, the intiial description from wintersown.org did say it was salt-tolerant, and I have tested it some.

What other salt-tolerant tomatoes do you know? (Whether to sodium chloride or salt index, I'm not particular).

Some tomatoes wither in conditions that Brandywine Pink is fine in.

I'm also curious if anyone else has tested Brandywine Pink for salt-tolerance (i.e. by giving it a lot of fertilizer or something). It's possible it's just mine (but I feel like Brandywine types in general might have above average salt-index-tolerance).
