(Fresno, CA) December 1, 2010 Managing Editor Chuck Geiger of Full Throttle Country introduces their newest on-line/interactive web site. sandiegoandarizonaeastern.blogspot.com/A site dedicated to THE IMPOSSIBLE RAILROAD. Built by sugar magnate J.D. Spreckles in 1907 and spanning 148 miles from San Diego, CA to El Centro, CA where it interchanged with the Southern Pacific. Amazing fast facts on the SD&AE 50 miles of the line runs through Baja California with border crossing gates near Tecate and in San Ysidro. The Goat Canyon Trestle across Carrizo Gorge is the longest wood train trestle in the world. In 1977 Hurricane Kathleen wiped out major portions of the line. The line goes through 21 tunnels over 14 trestles in just 11 miles. Started by sugar tycoon John D. Spreckles, the line was later sold to The Southern Pacific. Please check out the new site and be sure to tell a friend if they are fans of shortline railroads in The West. Thank you very much. |
