Carrizo Gorge

At the thirty six minute mark GOAT CANYON Trestle comes into view.

This is the longest curved trestle in the World.

Thanks for posting, Charlie. I always wanted to ride through the canyon. Now I don't have to!

Thanks for posting Charlie!  I was only going to watch the highlights, but ended up taking the entire trip.  Never knew any of this existed.  Quite an education.

Thanks.

When they got to the rock pile at 12:30 I thought, "they're gonna need a bigger tractor!"

Mercy!

I was introduced to the San Diego &Arizona Eastern by reading an article by Richard Steinheimer, called San Diego, the Hard Way, in the May, 1952, Railroad Magazine.  At that time, the daily train each way was powered by an SP Baldwin AS-616, with 2-6-0 steam helpers on the mountain.

This is the first time I have ever seen what the track actually looked like.  Now, that's real railroading, I'll tell you.
