This next stop is at the west entrance to Crozier Canyon to catch another westbound double-stack. A flange oiler is visible next to the last locomotive. The dirt road into the canyon was flooded and impassible hence the reason for this location. Though not apparent here, further into the canyon large boulders are being hauled off to Phoenix and Los Angeles to ornament commercial buildings and housing developments. This mining tends to lay bare the canyon walls destroying its rugged pristine beauty.
