At the time, there were, I believe, only three trains/week into Prescott & the Santa Fe powers that be decided that it wouldn't pay to repair the bridge. Efforts to revive the RR as an excursion train for tourists didn't fly, so everything got sold off.Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-65739474230354004032010-03-07T10:53:37.223-07:002010-03-07T10:53:37.223-07:00Hi GJ,
