  Verde Valley locals and area visitors may have been surprised to see two mid-century Budd stainless steel railcars rolling down the road, but not on an iron road as one might expect. The cars were transported down historic 89A enroute to their new home at Verde Canyon Railroad in Clarkdale; the first midday on May 24th and the second on the evening of May 26th. The soon-to-be VCRR #1106 rolled over pavement right through lunchtime rush in Old Town Cottonwood, leaving diners dumbfounded as they looked up from their meals or wine samplings at the rare sight of a railcar atop a semi-tractor trailer. Other motorists were agog watching the second truck negotiate the roundabouts along Highway 260 well after dusk. (less) ... Read more
