One of the craziest days that I've ever photographed.
It rained, rafter's where going down the rapids in the Colorado River, the cold was penetrating my bones, the solitude and the scale of things showing how fragile we really are.
And then God decided to send some rain and some sun, and I was there, waiting for the only missing element.
The UFO's....
And then I drove back, high altitude, low on fuel, and a 60 miles until we found a gas station.
Well, when I checked my distance to empty i had 5 miles, it was peach black, almost zero visibility, the road had no shoulder and I was sweating bullets.
What a day ... but I made it, almost on fumes....

The remains of Fort Lee, built in the 1870's, at the point of the Colorado River where a ferry system was constructed to move people and goods from one side of the canyon to the other.
Today Lee's Ferry is the launch point for rafters to ride down the Colorado River.

Finishing our adventure and heading home, we stopped at Lonely Dell Ranch in Lee's Ferry.
www.nps.gov/glca/planyourvisit/lees-ferry.htm
This is one of the buildings preserved on the Lonely Dell Ranch historic park at Lee's Ferry Arizona. The early Mormon pioneer - John Doyle Lee and his wives lived in this area. One wife is said to have remarked - when first seeing this site - that this was such a "Lonely Dell" and the name stuck. The site is comprised of several buildings, an orchard a cemetery and restored irrigation projects.
The Lonely Dell Ranch and Lees Ferry Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is managed by the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
Lee's Ferry provided the crossing of the Colorado River until 1929 when the original Navajo Bridge was built. Many Mormon settlers in Arizona made the trip to the LDS Temple in St. George Utah to solemnize their marriage and this route became known as "The Honeymoon Trail".

Samantha Johnson Cabin (also known as Emma's Cabin, Lee's Cabin, J.D. Lee Ranch House) was built in 1881. In 1987, the cabin was refurbished into a schoolhouse using timber from the mining boat "Nellie." The cabin was renovated by the NPS in 1982.

Zane Grey wrote about the Lee's Ferry crossing in The Last of the Plainsmen (1908):
I saw the constricted rapids, where the Colorado took its plunge into the box-like head of the Grand Canyon of Arizona; and the deep, reverberating boom of the river, at flood height, was a fearful thing to hear. I could not repress a shudder at the thought of crossing above that rapid.

One of the last few AC44's in SP paint is the leader for UP train GME3CQ-04 crossing over US Highway 50 at Lee's Summit on the UP Sedalia Sub. They're in the hole here, and they'll pull up to CP M260 and tie the train down after the 1500 dog catch crew that was called for it will end up being used for another train. Their trip west from Jeff City was delayed significantly this morning after the MASNP-05 that was ahead of it ripped apart a car in their train near Holden, MO.
Hard to believe only a few of these former Espee GE's are still roaming the system in the original paint. Sometimes I wonder how many more chances I'll have to see them before they're all yellow. 4/6/25.
Having left Neff with 40 cars totaling their limit of 5000 tons plus an extra 81, these two sounded hellacious as they meandered through Independence. Judging their speed and my abilities, I made a run towards Lee's Summit for this decent curve just West of the Depot. It didn't take but twenty minutes to hear the V20-V16 combo as they pounded away on the UP's Sedalia Sub. They have a few more miles to go before they reach Pleasant Hill and home rails.
“Lee’s Hope” is a Curtiss P-40F Warhawk (serial 41-19841, c/n 19503) painted in the markings of the 85th Fighter Squadron, 79th Fighter Group, USAAF, circa 1944. This aircraft, registered as G-CGZP, is part of The Fighter Collection at Duxford, Cambridgeshire. It represents the rugged and reliable fighters that served in the Mediterranean theatre during World War II.
One of the only places for a few hundred miles where the river is accessible by car and the place where most of the raft trips through the Grand Canyon start

Opened in 1965 in East Waco and was famous for its sausage link baskets, shrimp baskets, burgers and ice cream. Lee's closed in Jan. of 2019. Waco, Texas. 6.21.2016.
A bit after noon we called it on Coincil Bluffs after a lucky couple hours and drove 200 miles to here...for this...yes I know!
We should have just gone straight to Kansas City but one of the guys I was with really wanted to see the Big Boy out on the mainline. Light was anything but ideal and the crowd was astronomical...easily 3000 people were crowded around the depot and all the downtown crossings to welcome 4014 to town. Certainly this is like nothing that ever trod these former MoPac rails and this giant looks a bit out of its element on UP's Sedalia Sub. I somehow managed to tuck myself up against the fence and with a little telephoto I got everyone out of the photo as they curl through CP M260 past the west end of the 7300 ft siding. The water tank gives some sense of place since the gorgeusly restored depot just a block behind me was shadowed and just a wall of humanity on both sides. While I'd never have done this if I was alone, it was a memorable experience and I genuinely enjoyed talking to a bunch of happy and excited people trackside, and that's what this is all about!
The impressive 4-8-8-4 was blt. by Alco in Dec. 1941, was retired in 1961, and returned to service in 2019. I won't write much since few locomotives have been discussed more but if you wish to read more start with the UP Steam site: www.up.com/heritage/steam/4014/
They have one more stop after this in Independence before heading to Kansas City for display all day Wednesday at Union Station before continuing west headed home to Cheyenne after a nationwide tour of over a month that saw them travel as far as New Orleans.

A pair of Rio Grande veterans, an SD40T-2 and an SD40M-2 rebuilt from an SD45, are the power for MNA train KCMNA-13 making its way through Lee's Summit on the UP Sedalia Sub with only six cars on the outbound trip today. This operates between UP's Neff Yard in Kansas City, MO and MNA's Pearl Yard in Carthage, MO. On the UP, this is the LPHPHJ-13.
The lead unit, now MNA No. 3300 in RailTex paint, was originally built as DRGW No. 5392, and the trailing unit, now KYLE No. 3207 in G&W paint, was originally built as DRGW 5338. 11/13/20.
