In 1991 my wife and I followed the route from Tombstone to Nogales. I believe the old Patagonia depot was still there. It was a pleasant drive. It had Mixed Train service into the 1940s.

Truly amazing! My only experiences that come close would be the Nevada Northern from Cobre south or the C&TS out of Antonito. And those were not on a rail bike!

Isn't there a former WP wood combine that was originally D&RGW preserved (CSRM @ Sacramento?) that used to be on the B&L or Reno local?
I seem to recall hearing that there had been an intent to ext

N-C-O had two former Pullman sleeper-buffet cars, but their train was an all day trip. I think it is assumed that they were used as first class parlor cars.
SP did offer a through sleeper on the Mo

I never considered the Del Monte as a rural branch or mixed train. It was just a secondary passenger train (with steam heat) that continued to the end. By comparison the NWP Redwood was an entirely di

For some reason, I tend to gravitate towards smaller engines - maybe I prefer the underdog?

I think it was in 1964 that the Tucson and Rio Grande Divisions were combined. It was at this time that a number of divisions were merged with other divisions, including the Coast and Western Divisio

Here's a little bit of info for you. To answer your question about mixed trains on the Patagonia Branch and Tombstopne Branch, it is like the same equipment was used on a third branch during the week,

I have found additional info stating that there was a mixed train from Benson to Tombstone on Wednesdays and Saturdays by 1956 to abandonment.

If only 10% of those photos turned out as well as they did, I'd consider the trip a success. Well done! This is National Geographics quality.
