East < GO > West
The abandoned 1937 Crookton Junction bridge over the BNSF railroad tracks is a great spot to do a little train watching. Parking isn't real easy here, but we have found it to be easier on the west end of the bridge.

x The old bridge is falling apart in places, so watch where you walk. The new bridge that replaced this one was built in 1958. The name Crookton Junction refers to the junction of two sets of tracks about one mile east of the bridge. The junction no longer exists since the set of Santa Fe RR (ATSF) tracks that branched off to the south has been abandoned and removed.

x The newer (1958) bridge is on the left in this photo, more or less on the west side.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
