I noticed an ongoing thread spread across various posts about the Goat Canyon Trestle and the Impossible Railroad.
These threads have some really good information on how to get there, and what you will find there, and some awesome pictures too.
To get the full experience on this forum read all these posts.
My recent trip there:

I just bought: 'San Diego and Arizona Railway:: The Impossible Railroad' by Reena Deutsch, Ph.D.
www.amazon.com
Surveyors called the San Diego and Arizona Railway (SD&A) "The Impossible Railroad" because of its jagged, mountainous, and brutal desert route. The financier and driving force behind building this binational 148-mile rail
There are some railroad related questions and things that I would like to discuss, and share with others.

Not sure you can embed an iframe with this forum software.
Of course you could always export to a jpg but then you lose the interactivity
I will look into it,

This is a Google Map that I created that is a work in progress. Sorry for all the scribbled trails. But it outlines the train tracks for you, and eventually will have some
hiking paths that I have taken that make sense. Feel free to collaborate with me on this map, however I am not sure how that is done exactly. I have tried to open it up to everyone.
I think I can send you an invite via email, but I'm not sure what that will accomplish.

Nice article in the UT about the railroad getting fixed. Four to five trains daily are anticipated if it gets repaired. Hope they eventually put a passenger car in the mix. Tom
