Arizona Central railroad planned linking San Pedro to San Diego
The Arizona Central railway project, a joint venture of Baron de Fontmilliar and WJ Tiffacy, aims to build from San Pedro to Florence and Phoenix with a possible extension to San Diego.

The plan aligns with Rock Island and Phelps, Dodge interests and may involve joint ownership with FE Paro and Belmont ties to the Rothschilds.
