==Historical events==
In the era of steam locomotives, Winslow was an important stop on the [[Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway]] for adding water and fuel to trains. Passengers could disembark and have enough time to have a meal during the extended stop. During the 1920s many celebrities chose to come west to Hollywood and when they stopped in Winslow a parade took place. The local newspaper often documented these special events.
 
Winslow was also home to a roundhouse and maintenance depot for the Santa Fe. When the stationfacility at [[Barstow, California]] was given the engineering responsibility for newer diesel locomotives, Winslow began its slow decline. Company brass moved out, as did other employees needed for maintenance and repairs.
 
In 1949 when the Shah of Iran came to America and toured some sights, he chose to come to the Grand Canyon.
