Re-upping a few posts from my brief time in the Gadsden Purchase area a little over four years ago.

Update: the location stated above seems correct. Once again that is Newman Peak in the background.

In Search of the Sunset Route

As part of my general research, I wanted to spend some time along Southern Pacific’s Sunset Route, which dates to the 19th century. The SP built into this area from California, and arrived in Tucson in 1880.

These images, of a westbound Union Pacific train, were made just east of Picacho. The exact location is not far from where Southern Pacific’s line to Phoenix branches off from the Sunset Route and heads due north.

The SP was subsumed into the Union Pacific on September 11th 1996.

Brittlebush - March 2024 Brittlebush is one of the great survivors of the desert. It needs very little water and most of the water that it uses is kept down in its roots. The result is that the plant itself is very dry and brittle, thus the name, Brittlebush. Brittlebush grow almost anywhere and if there is any moisture at all in February, there will be beautiful yellow flowers all over the bush. MWM
