    Can't be Cajon, unless I totally missed it! I've searched
    the line 2-3 times, with the same success rate each time.
    Nothing.

    But, that's only me. What the heck do I know...?

    Got it.

    It's Mountain View, Arizona. Where Pantano Rd. (Google Maps calls it "E. Marsh Station Rd.") crosses Pantano Wash. and the former SP tracks.

    The tracks going across the bridge were built by the El Paso & Southwestern RR and the tracks under the bridge are Southern Pacific.

    There is a nice photo of this location in the Donald Sims book "Southern Pacific Country", on page 150.
