More Than Just a Means of Transportation: The Tallest Bridges and Longest Railways

This is an old railroad carrying passengers from Arizona to the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. The construction of the railroad was completed in 1901 in the hopes of improving the touristic area.

In the mid-20^th century, the railway suffered competition with the automobile and lost the battle, and in 1968 the train stopped operating and didn’t resume its service until 1977.
