The San Diego and Arizona Railway experienced a series of difficulties, including collapsed tunnels and rock slides, which led to the periodic closure of the railroad. One such difficulty was the collapse of Tunnel 15 in March 1932; it had been caused by an earthquake.{{cite web |url = http://theabf.org/goat-canyon-trestle-viewpoint-mortero-palms |title = Goat Canyon Trestle Viewpoint Via Mortero Palms |author = |publisher = Anza Borrego Foundation |quote = Goat Canyon trestle was built in 1932 after an earthquake collapsed one of the tunnels of the Carrizo Gorge section of the San Diego and Arizona Railway. |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180217202843/http://theabf.org/goat-canyon-trestle-viewpoint-mortero-palms |archive-date = February 17, 2018 |url-status = dead }}
