Re: Bridging a Canyon in Arizona

It looks like it's a Morenci Southern Locomotive, 3 windows on the side of the cab, headlight, and even the flanged stack.

But the MSRy locomotives had a single stage air compressor on the fireman's side of the locomotive right infront of the cab. Is this image possibily reversed... without being able to clearly make out the lettering on the tender, I can't Tell

Looking at a map of the MSRy, There is only ONE bridge on the line this could be (Myrick's Map in RR of AZ vol 3)... and that is Bridge #435 (MP 4.35?) which was 158' long (Trestle 62', Steel Girder 96')... All other bridges on the south end of the line, save for the San Fransisco river bridge were all frame trestle. The Northern bridges were wooden also, but were on the loops.
