The train is approaching Williams. When the Santa Fe added the second mainline, it straightened out the track just east of the Williams depot. A long fill was built with a bridge over the old US 66. Later US 66 would bridge over the tracks as the small bridge made a very narrow passage for the highway.

The engineer is setting the train air brakes to keep the slack out as we go through Williams. The road coming in on the right in the picture below is US 66. It will duck under the Santa Fe at the bridge just ahead of the train.
