Page is a city in Coconino County, Arizona, United States, near the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell. Unlike other cities in the area, Page was founded in 1957 as a housing community for workers and their families during the construction of nearby Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River. In 1997, Antelope Canyon was discovered on Navajo land adjacent to Page. This natural slot canyon, formed by erosion, has created a steady increase in tourism for Page, as word spread of the beauty of the canyon.
Soon these will be packed in grease. Just waiting for the brake rotors to arrive.

Notes: Built in 12/67 by Pullman Standard, this 86' double door Hy-Cube was not long for the world. Several of these were in storage at South Janesville and by the summer of 2019, they were scrapped. These were a personal favorite of mine, despite looking a bit ragged near the end.

EMD's and CPL's: Railfanning on the old B&O doesn't get any better than this. An SD70MAC and an SD50 lead autorack/autoparts train Q243 thru the SE transfer track and onto the Toledo Subdivision at Deshler, Ohio.

And I think I know what my father meant when he sang about a "Lost Highway"
And old George Jones, I'm glad to see, is finally getting straight
And Waylon's staying home and loving Jessi more these days
And nobody wants to get drunk and get loud
And all my rowdy friends have settled down...

A pair of Dash 9's lead an extremely late running 120 east at Bates. This train consisted of approximately 70 empty autoparts cars, with 2 cars of junk freight tacked onto the rear end for good measure.

For a decent amount of the chase, the highway pretty much paralleled the line, so the shots were a matter of where you were able to shoot him once you got back in front. This was the next spot, cresting this hill near Paris.
BNSF ES44AC 6041 leads the NS 255 RoadRailer westbound on the NS Springfield District near Paris, Missouri, April 7, 2024.
A pair of SD45's with the 3606 in the lead heads up TC-4 at Denville, NJ on July 29, 1975. TC-4 was a symbol that ran through from the N&W and mostly ran on the Lackawanna side of the railroad but occasionally could be found on the Erie side. This train became the primary way Ford got autoparts at Mahwah for a time utilizing a connection at Croxton from the Boonton Line to the Bergen County Line.

My wife sent me out to get her a bowl of chiil from Steak & Shake just as #145 was passing thru Starne Interlocker on the east side of Springfield. This gave me just the right amount of time to get down to Cockrell Lane, nail a shot of the train in gorgeous late summer light, get the chilli, and then return back home with my wife none the wiser. Perfect timing indeed!

#255 lopes along at 45-50 MPH at Bates with a single AC GEVO and a long train of Roadrailers loaded with Ford autoparts. Given the flat terrain, this is as fast as this supposedly hot train will ever go on this trip.

I saw this ICG relic when I shot 181 at Farley's Lane. Made it a point to get a good roster shot as 181 pulled into the Pass at Bates to meet 256.

A pair of ex-Conrail locos lead #145 west at County Line Road. This section of the former Wabash KC line is about as flat as flat can get.
I guess the business model didn't quite work out. We'll never really know. Upstate New York (as Manhattanites call it) is full of places exactly like this.
Yes, I missed my appointment at the DMV and have to return tomorrow.
A former Texaco site which stopped selling fuel around twenty years ago, the pumps were still visible in the 2009 Google street view as well as a small amount of red paint on the canopy.
By 2012 the pumps had been removed and the former petrol forecourt was trading as Autoquip.
