Cienega Creek
Doug Harrop Photography • May 19, 1984
In 1984, Southern Pacific 4449 pulled an all-daylight painted passenger consist on a 7,477 mile round trip from Portland, Oregon to the World's Fair in New Orleans, Louisiana and return. It would become the longest steam train excursion in the history of the United States.
Doug photographed 4449's journey in several locations in Arizona. This view was made at the famous Cienega Creek flyover, 20 miles east of Tucson, Arizona. If you look closely, a crowd of people are standing on the Marsh Station Road bridge to take in the show.
Cienega, meaning "swamp" or "marsh", is a Spanish word derived from its literal translation “hundred waters” or “cien aguas”.
The slide mount indicates the photo was published at some point.
