The town of Ash Fork has shrunk considerably since it was founded by the railroad in the 1880s but it’s not ready to fade into the history books yet.
The town of 650 is located about 50 miles west of Flagstaff off Interstate 40. It is home to a stretch of historic Route 66, a rail yard for the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe railroad and billed as the “Flagstone Capital of the World.”
