After Work Session G in late September and the Friends charter the following week, I'll be driving to Santa Barbara for work. I've never driven HWY 40 and it sounds like a great chance for some railfanning. I've been looking at maps and I think Williams seems like a good halfway point to stop for the night. The question is this: At Williams Junction (east of town), the line spits - 1 line goes north and the other west. Which is the mainline?

Also, besides Canyon Diablo bridge, what other must-sees are there? Thanks!
