Sunset Limited We are off East Marsh Station Road in Davidson Canyon, near Vail, Arizona—southeast of Tucson by thirty miles. Amtrak’s Sunset Limited is on the former El Paso and Southwestern Railroad flying over the much older Southern Pacific. The EP&SW came through here in 1911 or so while the SP was built in 1880. The younger road would be purchased by the Southern Pacific in 1924 and fully absorbed into its system in 1955. In addition to the two railroads, an historical marker states that the adjacent Cienega Bridge (not pictured), built in 1921, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Land acknowledgement: O’odham Jewed, Sobaipuri, Tohono O’odham, Hohokam.

#texas #newmexico #arizona #california @amtrak’s #sunsetlimited reveals so much of the southwest’s beauty. Even politics are in play as we glide past a section of the #borderwall...the one #Mexico didn’t pay for🙄🤣. Truly, I can’t recommend the train experience highly enough. Get a sleeper, relax in your own private space and take in the boundless majesty of this beautiful land. #travel #amtrak #teain #goodvibes https://www.instagram.com/p/CFCUVWqsfRE/?igshid=1gwvckw5i903o

Whew, having so much fun editing various portions of my forthcoming book In Search of Great Men. Spending quiet, thoughtful time trying understand and reinterpret a large body of work is simultaneously a luxury and a huge challenge! #McNairEvans_InSearchOfGreatMen #McNairEvans #mcnairevans_isgm #Amtrak #sunsetlimited #sunsetlimitedtrain #sunsetlimitedamtrak (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqJZ8edgQ2l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=aieged0gjy9j

Just before El Paso, the @amtrak #SunsetLimited right of way snakes right along the border with Mexico for a few miles. You may have heard it said that borders are just lines on a map, and yes they are sometimes that, but they can be so much more. Like all artifacts of culture, they can be a reminder and a reinforcer of social order, a way for the powerful to remind the powerless of their designated place in the world and a subtle means of implanting that social order in subsequent generations as they are born and raised around them. #perspective #reality (at Sunland Park, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnkCLFbhrJF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pia00lt8w3hn
