Western Railroad Discussion > Some pics from Kingman.Date: 07/28/14 15:55 Some pics from Kingman. Author: syscom3 On Saturday, my daughter was having a girls only party and she kicked me out of the house for the day. I took tht as an opportunity to check things out at Kingman.
I found a pretty good spot to begin the mornings activities. A good view of both tracks. The track for this set of pictures is for westbounds.    Date: 07/28/14 15:58 Re: Some pics from Kingman. Author: syscom3 There was a steady flow of westbound intermodals all morning. About 4 per hour easy. After seeing orange engines, it was nice to see a different colored one.

   Date: 07/28/14 16:01 Re: Some pics from Kingman. Author: syscom3 From this location, you have a great view of eastbounds.

   Date: 07/28/14 16:07 Re: Some pics from Kingman. Author: syscom3 Picture 2; I wanted to try out my polarizer filter. To te south of Kingman, an ominous thundercell was forming.
Picture 3; I shifted positions to the opposite of where I was, to the other side of the bridge. Another ominous thundercell was forming. Thats all for today. I will post more tomorrow. Thanks for looking.    Date: 07/28/14 16:57 Re: Some pics from Kingman. Author: TCnR Tell us about the polarizer when you get a chance. Who made it? Any particular reason for a polarizer? Any differences compared to an old fashion film polarizer?
Kingman is a lot of fun, thanks for the reminder. Date: 07/28/14 17:11 Re: Some pics from Kingman. Author: coach See that paved road in the wash in the first photos? Someone told me that road was the earliest version of Route 66, before they improved it and moved it up onto the hillside.

The other road goes from a ball field to an area south of town. Hard to tell of it's origin, maybe someone has photos. I would think at one time there was only one RR track as well.
