I just finished watching The Impossible Railroad and let me say it was a very well put together documentary and an absolute must watch for anyone who is a fan of the San Diego & Arizona Eastern Railroad! It was released on DVD for the first time this year and you can get your copy here: The Impossible Railroad DVD

Be sure to tell them we sent you!

THE SAN DIEGO AND ARIZONA EASTERN

The San Diego and Arizona Railroad opened the first modern line between San Diego and the East. The railroad was one of the most expensive ever built in the U.S., costing almost $19 million in 1919. In the Carrizo Gorge, the railroad crosses 14 trestles and goes through 21 tunnels in only 11 miles. From San Diego to El Centro, the railroad rises and falls over 3,700 feet. If ever there was a monument to a builder, the San Diego and Arizona Railroad speaks of the energy, skill and determination of John D. Spreckles and his men, the last of the great railroad builders.
