American Airlines Virtual

I fulfilled a 20 year dream this weekend and hiked the 12 mile trip to see the Goat Canyon trestle of the old San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railroad. It was built in the 1920's or 1930's and I think it may be the largest wooden trestle in the United States.

It was a very difficult hike in with lots of boulder scrambling. It took 4 hours to go 3.3 miles.

THAT is freakin sweet! I may try and model that for my HO gauge layout in my basement...

Looks like you had a blast! (I know I would've...)

Thanks!

That's pretty awesome!

I second that request for a "Like" button.

The San Diego Model Railroad Museum has modeled it in HO scale. It's stunning!

Mike, those are amazing pictures. I am so impressed with that trestle and can't believe it's still standing. Must require lots of maintenance.

That is VERY stunning! Especially neat to see your pics in real life and compare to that model... All I have to say is WOW!

Excellent pictures. It looks in great condition. Is it still in use today?

Very nice!
