La Posada is a Harvey Houses designed by Mary Colter. She called La Posada her favorite as she had a free hand in its design. After years of use by the RR for storage and offices, the property was acquired from BNSF circa 1997, by partnership of Allen Afeldt, Allan and Tina Mion, Daniel Lutzick. $12,000,000.00 later La Posada shines like its days in the Harvey House chain. Another $1,000,000.00+ in recent years restores the garden between the hotel and Rte 66. Winslow AMTRAK station is La Posada. Passengers on the Chief can stay in Winslow at La Posada. Route 66 fans stop by the hotel. The food is the best in Winslow. The trains usually run slow. Winslow is a crew change and a yard. Hotshots skip Winslow. I caught 3 trains plus yard movements while discoursing with sundry fellow rail addicts that populate the La Posada landscape. Two trains pass while eating. A great day in Winslow.
