Navajo Bridge is a pair of steel spandrel arch bridges that cross the Colorado River near Lee's Ferry in northern Arizona. The newer bridge of the pair carries vehicular traffic on U.S. Route 89A over Marble Canyon between southern Utah and Arizona, allowing travel into a remote region north of the Colorado River and the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.
Prior to completion of the first Navajo Bridge, one of the only Colorado River crossings between Arizona and Utah was located about 5 mi (8 km) upstream from the bridge site, at the mouth of Glen Canyon where Lee's Ferry service had operated since 1873.

The remains of Fort Lee, built in the 1870's, at the point of the Colorado River where a ferry system was constructed to move people and goods from one side of the canyon to the other.
Today Lee's Ferry is the launch point for rafters to ride down the Colorado River.

With only three cars today, MNA train KCMNA-07 rolls into Lee's Summit on the UP Sedalia Sub led by an Ex-SP SD45T-2 and a G&W painted SD40M-2. This train is en route from UP's Neff Yard in Kansas City, MO to MNA's Pearl Yard in Carthage, MO, and it utilizes the UP between KC and Pleasant Hill, where it'll be back on home rails. On the UP, this symbol for this train is the LPHPHJ-07. 1/7/20.

Happy Star Wars Day!
So, the disheartened feeling has not left me yet, which is not great, but my thoughts have not been so tangled today. Although, I have not really had to think that much. But then I still have a (3&3/4 hour) mock to do at some point today.
But I like Thursdays because Thursdays mean ballet. Same reason I like Saturdays.
Did you know that a couple of Harper Lee's closest friends gave her enough money to quit her job so she could write 'To Kill a Mockingbird'?
Finishing our adventure and heading home, we stopped at Lonely Dell Ranch in Lee's Ferry.
www.nps.gov/glca/planyourvisit/lees-ferry.htm
This is one of the buildings preserved on the Lonely Dell Ranch historic park at Lee's Ferry Arizona. The early Mormon pioneer - John Doyle Lee and his wives lived in this area. One wife is said to have remarked - when first seeing this site - that this was such a "Lonely Dell" and the name stuck. The site is comprised of several buildings, an orchard a cemetery and restored irrigation projects.
The Lonely Dell Ranch and Lees Ferry Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is managed by the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
Lee's Ferry provided the crossing of the Colorado River until 1929 when the original Navajo Bridge was built. Many Mormon settlers in Arizona made the trip to the LDS Temple in St. George Utah to solemnize their marriage and this route became known as "The Honeymoon Trail".

Samantha Johnson Cabin (also known as Emma's Cabin, Lee's Cabin, J.D. Lee Ranch House) was built in 1881. In 1987, the cabin was refurbished into a schoolhouse using timber from the mining boat "Nellie." The cabin was renovated by the NPS in 1982.

Zane Grey wrote about the Lee's Ferry crossing in The Last of the Plainsmen (1908):
I saw the constricted rapids, where the Colorado took its plunge into the box-like head of the Grand Canyon of Arizona; and the deep, reverberating boom of the river, at flood height, was a fearful thing to hear. I could not repress a shudder at the thought of crossing above that rapid.

Happy Fence Friday, HFF,
An abandoned gold digging dredge along the Solomon River forty miles from Nome. This dredge which operated until 1960's and was the last one to operate on this river.
This has become one of my favorite locations to shoot. Lee's Crossroads, PA just northeast of Shippensburg in the fertile Cumberland Valley provides seamless variety of angles and traffic on NS's main east coast North/South Avenue. Stay for awhile and you're also sure to meet some of the local rail fans where if the railroad traffic stops, the stories continue!
This is 13R with NS 9923 leading 9212 and 8047 with 7,315 feet of train and almost 11,000 tons approaching Goodhart Road during the last rays of sunlight on a evening in late April.
“Lee’s Hope” is a Curtiss P-40F Warhawk (serial 41-19841, c/n 19503) painted in the markings of the 85th Fighter Squadron, 79th Fighter Group, USAAF, circa 1944. This aircraft, registered as G-CGZP, is part of The Fighter Collection at Duxford, Cambridgeshire. It represents the rugged and reliable fighters that served in the Mediterranean theatre during World War II.

I've posted many photos from the Grand Canyon, and could post many more. But that might be boring, so I will move on through our Southwest adventure. This is Navajo Bridge, which crosses the Colorado River's Marble Canyon near Lee's Ferry in the US state of Arizona. Apart from the Glen Canyon Bridge a few miles upstream at Page, Arizona, it is the only roadway crossing of the river and the Grand Canyon for nearly 600 miles (970 km). The original bridge, which opened in 1929, is on the right and is now open for pedestrian and equestiran access.
Thanks for your visit -- I appreciate your comments, faves, and constructive criticism. But, please NO MULTIPLE INVITES and refrain from posting your images and Flickriver badges into my photostream; I simply do not have time to give them the attention they deserve.
Have a great day whenever you see this!
Having left Neff with 40 cars totaling their limit of 5000 tons plus an extra 81, these two sounded hellacious as they meandered through Independence. Judging their speed and my abilities, I made a run towards Lee's Summit for this decent curve just West of the Depot. It didn't take but twenty minutes to hear the V20-V16 combo as they pounded away on the UP's Sedalia Sub. They have a few more miles to go before they reach Pleasant Hill and home rails.
I interviewed the owner, Deanne, yesterday for an audio segment on Bay View history for the Milwaukee Country Historical Society. I asked her what one artifact from Lee's she thought would best represent the tavern in an exhibit and she said this ghost sign on the side of the building. I agree!
I've been shooting, but haven't been getting the film developed. If you are interested, I've started contributing over at Roadside Online with a segment called "No Vacancy." It'll be photos and stories from my adventures on the road with my camera. Today I visit the Cheese House, Lamb's Farm and Paul's Motel. I look forward to reporting back.

really nice version of the Curtis P40F Kittyhawk..quick rework with split colours..just sussed how to do it on my Elements 8 software..not the top range photoshop version,which is fine by me..id never use it all..!
Lee's Coffee serves Iced Latte (Cà phê sữa đá) which include Ground Coffee, Parisian Style, New Orleans Style and Concentrate Cà phê sữa đá. Unfortunately, Bánh mì thịt... has not been served yet.
A bit after noon we called it on Coincil Bluffs after a lucky couple hours and drove 200 miles to here...for this...yes I know!
We should have just gone straight to Kansas City but one of the guys I was with really wanted to see the Big Boy out on the mainline. Light was anything but ideal and the crowd was astronomical...easily 3000 people were crowded around the depot and all the downtown crossings to welcome 4014 to town. Certainly this is like nothing that ever trod these former MoPac rails and this giant looks a bit out of its element on UP's Sedalia Sub. I somehow managed to tuck myself up against the fence and with a little telephoto I got everyone out of the photo as they curl through CP M260 past the west end of the 7300 ft siding. The water tank gives some sense of place since the gorgeusly restored depot just a block behind me was shadowed and just a wall of humanity on both sides. While I'd never have done this if I was alone, it was a memorable experience and I genuinely enjoyed talking to a bunch of happy and excited people trackside, and that's what this is all about!
The impressive 4-8-8-4 was blt. by Alco in Dec. 1941, was retired in 1961, and returned to service in 2019. I won't write much since few locomotives have been discussed more but if you wish to read more start with the UP Steam site: www.up.com/heritage/steam/4014/
They have one more stop after this in Independence before heading to Kansas City for display all day Wednesday at Union Station before continuing west headed home to Cheyenne after a nationwide tour of over a month that saw them travel as far as New Orleans.
Lee's Summit, Missouri

Opened in 1965 in East Waco and was famous for its sausage link baskets, shrimp baskets, burgers and ice cream. Lee's closed in Jan. of 2019. Waco, Texas. 6.21.2016.
Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken’s founder, Lee Cummings, was the son of Colonel Harland Sanders' sister. He also became the President of his uncle’s franchising company, Kentucky Fried Chicken. Kentucky Fried Chicken was sold. After the buyout, Colonel Sanders became a salaried mascot ambassador for the brand. His nephew, Cummings, branched out in Ohio and soon developed the Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken franchising chain. The Sanders family Lee knew how to make deliciously famous chicken (country-fried, not city-slicker stuff) and learned franchising.
University Chapel & Galleries sits on the historic campus of Washington and Lee University. Construction began in 1867, during Robert E. Lee’s presidency of the institution, and the chapel was completed in 1868. Although Lee solicited the project and worked on its design, the building’s architecture is largely credited to Thomas Williamson, an engineering professor, with input from Lee’s son. Stylistically, the structure reflects a simplified Romanesque or Neo‑Norman/Victorian Gothic character, built from regionally sourced brick and stone.
The interior preserves Lee’s office in the basement much as he left it shortly before his death in 1870, offering a direct link to his role as educator and administrator. Beneath the chapel lies a crypt holding Lee and members of his family. A notable feature added in 1883 is a rear extension, which houses the recumbent statue of Lee by sculptor Edward Valentine.
A museum occupies the chapel’s lower level, exhibiting institutional history, family portraits, artifacts, and rotating galleries. The main auditorium continues to serve for university events, lectures, and occasional public functions. In 2021, the building was officially renamed to University Chapel & Galleries, reflecting evolving perspectives on its namesake and purpose. It remains a National Historic Landmark and draws visitors interested in architecture, education, and the legacy of its era.
