ATSF Eastbound Upper Kingman Canyon
November 5, 1995 was quite a day for me on the Santa Fe. It got started when the local country music station played Asleep at the Wheel’s lively version of Get Your Kicks on Rt 66 as I drove through Kingman Arizona on Andy Devine Ave (Rt 66) before sunrise. I had some specific shots around Kingman planned but I didn’t know how true the song would become. By the end of the day, I had made all the planned shots and more. I had been up and down the canyon and east and west to shoot at least 17 different trains. I also didn’t know it would be my last time shooting the Santa Fe before the merger.
I previously posted one shot from that day and have an album with shots from that day. www.flickr.com/photos/crr200/albums/72177720304664608 I’ll be adding to the album over the next several days.
The canyon west of Kingman is most photographed but there is a short canyon just to the east of town also. When this mixed single level/double stack eastbound with older power showed up before I could get back to the western canyon, i went east to catch this view.
