AZCR-Turntable Trestle
Description
The main span's deck plate girder was originally used as the turntable at the Santa Fe's roundhouse in Prescott, Arizona until reused by the AT&SF for this span ca. 1912.
Access to this bridge is easiest by riding the Verde Canyon RR excursion train out of Clarkdale. Much of surrounding land is private, and hiking is not recommended as a result.
