Photo of Goat Canyon Trestle on the San Diego and Eastern Railway
Goat Canyon Trestle

Notice the structure with the slanted roof in the upper center of the photograph above. That is a railroad tunnel that has been disturbed by movement of the earth. When the San Diego & Arizona Railway first opened in 1916, the train used the tunnel. A few years later, after the tunnel became unusable, the railroad builders went back to work and creature the Goat Canyon Trestle around the mountain rather than through it.
