You are welcome, I'm glad to be of some help here among so many knowledgeable members. The Myrick book on the Santa Fe to Phoenix is a wonderful book and well worth the cost. I recently was able to finish obtaining the whole series of Myricks works of Arizona Railroads. I will be moving to the area of this railroad soon and I hope to be able to explore the grades of the railroads in the future.

We have witnessed valley
and plain and crest,
Canon and pass we've scanned;
We have seen the best
of the glorious West,
by the trail of the Rio Grande
