Western Railroad Discussion > Killing time in Crozier CanyonDate: 05/13/11 11:16 Killing time in Crozier Canyon Author: Super_C For those who visit Crozier Canyon, it is no secret that it takes quite awhile for the sun to reach the tracks after sunrise. Sometimes, arriving in the canyon early in the day allows for some hiking before it gets hot during the summer months. On the other hand, what do you do in between early arrival and when the tracks are lit.
Here is an example of killing time. Last weekend, qnyla and I were in the Kingman area and decided to go out and do some shooting in the canyon before the sun got high and the light turned flat. At 0620 local time (MST) I took a backlit shot of a westbound stack train entering the east end of the canyon and a going away shot (including the DPUs) from the same location before it entered the canyon’s shadows.

We'll be hitting summer solstice in about 6 weeks, always seems kinda early. Date: 05/13/11 11:50 Re: Killing time in Crozier Canyon Author: seaboard I made some photos off Route 66 in Crozier Canyon last year. The old road through the area can be seen on the west side of the old town area. There are blocks of rock where it used to cross the ATSF. Those date back to when the National Old Trails Road came through (Pre-Route 66). The whole trip along the ATSF from Seligman to Kingman is worth driving. You can make nice photos of the railroad and old Route 66 stuff too. At Peach Springs you can see the western end of the Grand Canyon in the distance.
