This is the Date Creek Rd grade crossing, near Congress, AZ, looking ESE. The small curve looks like it can provide great photo opportunities for trains coming from the Piedmont siding, unfortunately there were none that day.
In early February, we spent the afternoon walking through Piedmont Park. While a park, we were struck by the number of signs that have been installed proclaiming certain activities prohibited, discouraging people from actually using he park. We wondered what the point was - to perserve a manicured landscape for looking at, or for people to actually enjoy? It appears the Park Nazis are winning.
