Nostalgia & History > Canyon DiabloDate: 10/28/04 21:27 Canyon Diablo Author: 3rdswitch On my first trip to Canyon Diablo, on the Santa Fe transcon, between Flagstaff and Winslow, AZ, in August '87, this westbound train had just made a pickup at Canyon Diablo [this used to be a block swapping point] and was departing westbound.
the old supports for the original single track bridge, can be seen bottom right. JB  Date: 10/29/04 16:35 Re: Canyon Diablo Author: MacBeau It has been more than fifteen years since I was there, and my lady let it be known the last time that she would walk in from the freeway before she would ride there again. Just out of curiosity, has the two-lane, rock encrusted cow-path gotten any better?

The 1st trip ['87] it was bad, 2nd trip ['99] not bad [because of track work, it's always good to visit a location such as this after a major track progect as the road is good, for awhile!] the 3rd trip ['03], it was terrible!
