About Goat Canyon Trestle in brief
Goat Canyon Trestle is a wooden trestle in San Diego County, California. It was built in 1933 as part of the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway. The railway had been called the \”impossible railroad\” upon its 1919 completion. It ran through Baja California and eastern SanDiego County before ending in Imperial Valley. By 2008, rail traffic stopped using the trestel. In early 2017, tunnel Number 6 collapsed, and the route was obstructed. As of 2018, the railroad was assessing repairs to allow it to return to operation.
The canyon is a popular destination for hikers, with a dry waterfall and crystalline basement. Since at least the 1970s, there has been a population of bighorn sheep, an endangered species, living in the area. The San Diego Railroad Museum hosts a Model Railroad Museum in the canyon, which hosts a vireo monkey flower bloom, which occurred in 2017, which was observed in the desert. It is also home to the California State Museum of Natural History, which has a model railroad museum.
