The Williams Jct. AZ Sag
Author: zchcsse

This clip features two trains a couple of miles east of Williams Junction, AZ along BNSF's Seligman Sub early in the morning. This was my first time visiting this locale and I wished I could have stayed longer, but it was not to be.

Anyway, this clip features an eastbound manifest dropping down then climbing back up a deep sag. The signal lights popped on before the train entered the block, so I knew it was now a race to get this eastbound out of the way of a close-by westbound. Luckily, it barely did, revealing a CSX-led manifest.

Thanks for watching!

Nice video Tom! I've been to that location, but down at the other end.

Nice video! I can hardly believe that's Arizona with all the greenery! The sudden appearance of the other train at the end reminds me of the signs that are on double-track railroad crossings in France: "UN TRAIN PEUT CACHER UN AUTRE"..."One train can hide another". That is an instance in which it would make sense!

Nice timing there for sure and a nice catch on the CSX leader as well. Very nice video, Tom.

Thanks for sharing,

Great video! I've wanted to go to that spot for several years now but I can never seem to find out how to get back there

Second manifest looked like it had a Gallup or Jo City block of fly ash on the head end.

Nice video. Youre putting out some good stuff.

I don't recall, but it was quite long. That westbound was coming and the cars from the eastbound kept streaming by, luckily ending when it did.
