Is there anything train-related in the Quartzite, Ariz., area?

#2

Williams is the closest thing I know of with the Grand Canyon RR, thats a great day trip.

Blythe supposedly has or had a tourist RR at one time but I dont know the status of it today, nothing comes up when I do a search.

I don’t think that railroad is running as far as Blythe or if it is it’s just freight. I’ll do some klooking.
Thanksd

I can vouch for that. The mainline crosses I-40 a couple of times and parallels it closely in a few spots. Seemed like every overpass I came to there was a train in view.

This might be close and looks very intriguing. http://www.jtsrr.org/browsers/home.html

Holy moly! All these years I’ve been going through Joshua Tree every summer and never even knew that was there! I’ll have to see if I can arrange a visit next time. That 15" gauge C&S loco is awesome.
