  • An Eastbound empty table train is seen crossing the 544'-long bridge over Canyon Diablo, East of Flagstaff, Arizona. In 1880, the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad had a bridge manufactured to bridge the gap over the canyon. When the bridge arrived on site, it was too short. The correct bridge took another six months to arrive from the manufacturer and during that time a town emerged. This town was at the end of the at that time the current transcontinental railroad and quickly became notorious for the saloons, brothels, and gambling houses that emerged. At first, the town had no lawmen and one urban legend goes that the first sheriff was appointed at 3 pm and dead within hours. Instead of the center street being named Main Street, it was appropriately named "Hell Street." A series of lawmen tried to keep the peace in town, the longest allegedly lasting a month. When the bridge was completed the town quickly faded away. Remnants of the town still exist. The current steel bridge was completed in 1947, 10-5-22.
