Kingman Canyon
Another from the archives I've never shared. I gotta get back out here!
Another in the seemingly endless parade of intermodal trains heads east on BNSF's Seligman Sub near MP 519X on Main 2. The legendary ex Santa Fe transcon cuts through the short rugged Kingman Canyon just railroad west of that small town that is the seat of Mojave County.
The train is passing over a dry wash on a deck girder bridge on Main 2, the higher of the two main tracks here. For a 13 mile stretch between Griffith and Kingman the two main lines do not share the same right of way making for some interesting and fun photo opportunities that can also be challenging if you don't know whether to expect an eastbound or a westbound and are set up on the wrong track.
Mornings in Kingman Canyon are times well spent!
