Yavapai College: Tracing the Railroads through Prescott

The Santa Fe railroad originally came through Prescott, but in 1962 a bypass was constructed to route the tracks outside the city. The downtown passenger depot and truss bridge are two remaining landmarks of the original route. Portions of the former roadbed remain as hiking trails, though in some areas the old roadbed is hard to find. Follow along as we trace the path and see the many bridges and culverts that still exist today.
