The Four Corners is the greatest railroad lacunae in the lower 48 states. Your choices in March, before the Durango & Silverton begins its season, will be very limited. The only thing that's easy to reach and see from public roads that's in the immediate area is the Black Mesa & Lake Powell, but be forewarned that you could easily wait 8 to 12 hours until a train goes by. There's a very short mine railroad at the Four Corners Power Plant near Farmington, but I have no idea if that is visible from public roads or lands. To the north, the first thing you'll come across is the former D&RGW main line across the Green River Desert, with one to two daylight moves (eastward Amtrak is the only guaranteed train), the Cane Creek Branch from Brendel (Crescent Jct.) to Potash (near Moab), Friday's only; and the Montrose Branch -- don't know when it runs, but probably tri-weekly past Delta. To the west, you have to go almost to Nevada to reach the UP's LA&SL. To the south, the former Santa Fe main line has trains galore -- that's where I'd head if I wanted to see trains go by. <br /> <br />OS
