Jerome Junction, Arizona

Jerome Junction is a ghost town in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States.

It served as a transfer point between the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix Railway (SFP&P) and the narrow-gauge United Verde & Pacific Railway for 25 years.

The narrow-gauge line was built precariously on the side of Woodchute Mountain by William A. Clark after he bought the United Verde Copper Company.

[1] When it was replaced by standard-gauge line on the east side of the mountain from Jerome to Clarkdale in 1920, Jerome Junction became a ghost town, and in 1923, the activities of the former town were absorbed by Chino Valley.

[2] The location changed names at least 3 times: All that remains today are some foundations and railroad equipment.
