The story behind "The Pit" in Benson is.... there used to be an old salvage yard there & the Southern Pacific R.R bought the land 'cause it was is right next to the track.
The R.R. bulldozed all the cars from the salvage yard into the wash next to the RR tracks for erosion control.
Notice there do not seem to be any wheels, rims, or axles.

I weep bitter tiers.
ReplyDeleteIt's apparently made a lot of people happy. Every headlight , tailight and headlight bezel has been stripped fulfilling part of somebody's want/need list. I was actually surprised to see some desirable bumpers still attached and looking in pretty good shape. A real honey hole!
ReplyDeleteIt's been picked over pretty good, alot off scrapping has been going on
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun ride back to it either 4x4 down the wash or a long the tracks.
