The Morenci Loop was a trestle bridge located between the San Francisco River and Morenci in Arizona, United States. It was closed down in 1922.
In Thomas & Friends, the loop is not closed down, as Thomas, Nia and Ace crossed the bridge during their trip around the world and nearly accidentally collided with a diesel when they rolled back down the loop.
Appearances
Trivia
- While the tracks are standard gauge and double tracked in the special, the real-life Morenci Loop was narrow gauge and single tracked.
