Greetings from Flagstaff
One of my favorite places to watch and photograph the Santa Fe Railway was in Arizona's Coconino National Forest. Areas east of Flagstaff were a great place to catch the morning fleet of eastbound trains. If Amtrak was running a little late, it would arrive at sunrise, followed by Santa Fe intermodal hot shots and merchandise trains. Sept. 30, 1994 was a busy morning to be trackside. Among the fleet was this all yellow and blue powered piggyback train with a trio of SD40-2s and a single SD45u. The train is approaching Darling with the San Francisco Peaks enshrouded in clouds that by mid-afternoon would become rain showers.
