The northern route crossed the treeless plains of the Colorado Plateau from New Mexico to the snow-covered volcanoes overlooking Flagstaff, then followed a series of natural passes through sandstone buttes and towering cliffs to the Colorado River and California. This was the route chosen by the Atlantic and Pacific.

what year? current? this clarifies a bit some pictures I took at the first available pullout_ going east- the tracks were further off in the distance; seems to be a village out there though; across the tracks ( just trying to label my pictures ) All this is a few miles before Valentine. I remember the train going up the steep grade as in your pictures; thanks !!
