No Branch Line Feasibility Doubted By Pathfinding Group
A Birmingham meeting document rejects the Pankhead Military Highway branch line as viable noting it was not recommended by the Pathfinding Committee.

The committee’s report omits the Apache Trail as a viable tire route, favoring a Maricopa area push toward Ajo road and Yuma.
