BN 6350 in Cascade Green on Point at Valentine, Arizona.
So, I'm out and about exploring Route 66 when I find this great vantage point to capture westbound trains on what must be very close to be a 90 degree bend. The camera is safely positioned on the tripod and the shot is already framed; all we need now is a train. About 20 minutes before this Stacker arrives, I notice the lone figure of a guy walking backwards along Route 66. Obviously I have to hop down from the rocks I'm standing on and ask why is walking backwards. The reply, and you have to believe me was that he told me that he had walked the entire route before but facing forwards and he now wanted to see what the views were facing the other way!
Back to normality - BN 6350 (SD40-2) and 2 SF Blue Bonnets take the curve with a Westbound Intermodal.
