Kingman Morning
I've only been here once and clearly I need to return!
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 Mohave County.
This is a going away shot of the rear DPUs on this train: flic.kr/p/2mY4jcy 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. At least if you have DP units facing outward you can make do with almost any train in any direction and sometimes it's even a two for the price of one!
Mornings in Kingman Canyon are times well spent!
