Sanderson Canyon in Texas is huge. It starts west of Sanderson TX, the county seat, and continues east through rugged country before emerging near Dryden. Much of the canyon is inaccessible unless you are priviledged to use the UP access road along the track.
Climbing out of Sanderson, the UP tracks cross US90 before disappearing into the depths of the canyon. About 125 miles ahead is the crew change point of Del Rio TX, the county seat of Val Verde county and home of Laughlin AFB.
