Ring Party with the freight train

[Gary Stiles]

The ring party that had a freight train go through it was held on E. Marsh Station Rd. where it crosses Pantano Wash, east of Vail.  At the time, this was an abandoned road off of I-10 that had almost no traffic.  The bridge has a 90' drop and we used to go out there to practice rappelling and other ropework.  The link below is to this area on Google maps.  (I'm not clever enough to paste the map itself into here.)  The date of that party was in February 1969?  There also was another ring party that year up in the Catalinas, on 11/19/69.

Wast this the party where the Winged Nazgul rappelled off the bridge?

You mean the ring party where Dan Jones (Legolas) prevented Jon Earl (the Lord o' the Nazgul) from trying to rappel off of the bridge within clipping on, carabiner-wise?

That would be the one...
