September 11, 2024 - The Cameron Suspension Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
"In March of 1911, Congress appropriated $90,000 for construction of a bridge built by the Midland Bridge Co. for the Office of Indian Affairs.
“At that time, there were hardly any cars,” Carson said. “It was a bridge for the Navajo people. The bridge was the earliest safe crossing of the river. It was meant for walking across with your cattle or your sheep.”
There's even a story that in 1937 a large herd of sheep crossing the bridge caused it to sway badly and nearly collapse, leading to some repairs to shore it up.
The Cameron Construction Bridge is an engineering marvel that played a large role in Arizona’s growth, according to an Arizona State Historic Preservation Office report.
According to the report, the bridge “is significant for its association with the initial growth of Arizona’s highway system as a major bridge which opened the northern portion of the state to development … A hybrid of suspension and truss forms, the bridge has engineering significance as the oldest surviving highway suspension bridge in the state and that utilized novel engineering techniques to cross the wide canyon of the Little Colorado River. Decades passed, technology advanced and foot traffic gave way to large vehicles. By the mid-1950s this became a problem as the old bridge was not capable of carrying heavy construction equipment needed to build the Glen Canyon Dam."

This No Trespassing sign seems to have had better days, but I kinda like that wavy look it's got.
Colorado’s Joint Line between South Denver and Bragdon (Pueblo) is two parallel lines, one built and owned by Rio Grande, and the other built and owned by Santa Fe. Colorado & Southern, later Burlington Northern, also operated on the route. Simply put, the agreement is that Rio Grande route is used for southbound trains of all three railroads, and the Santa Fe route is used for northbound trains of all three railroads. In this view, a southbound BN freight, led by a pair of gray GE B39-8 LMX locomotives, heads south on obviously-marked Rio Grande property through Sedalia, Colorado, on the morning of July 7, 1989.
