Sorry, we couldn't find anything matching "The Museum and Santa Fe Railroad exhibit consists of 1,200 feet of track running through a 3,000 square-foot landscape representing, the Great Plains, the Arizona desert and Grand Canyon, and California. Sprawled across the model landscape are a suburban village, an elevated highway, a commercial grain elevator, a cement factory, an oil field and refinery, an orange grove, a mountain tunnel, two bridges, and numerous industrial buildings. The Alvarado Hotel and the Hopi Hotel which dot the top of the canyon plateau are based on hotels built by architect Mary Colter (1869-1958.) The model railroad is fifty feet wide by sixty feet long. The track is 1-1/4 inch O-gauge. Each train is pulled by a diesel locomotive with up to fifteen cars. Fifteen homes and buildings have working electricity.".
