Western Railroad Discussion > Monday Morning Hike in ValentineDate: 06/27/16 18:39 Monday Morning Hike in Valentine Author: slug96 With Amtrak running over eight hours late, I figured it would be a good day to go for a hike along one of the rock formations near Crozier Canyon. I got luck to get up there a little bit after sunrise to catch the fleet of westbound trains they would send through before closing the westbound main for track work. From perch on top of these rocks, I had a good view of seeing the trains coming out of Crozier Canyon before they rounded the curve to join Route 66. I caught three westbounds before Amtrak showed up. Unfortunately, they closed the westbound main after the second westbound. So, all the eastbounds I was hoping to catch got held in Kingman as they single-tracked from Valentine to Walapai.
1- The Q ALTSBD6 emerges out of Crozier Canyon. 2- Same train passing through the rock cut. 3- The V KCKSBD1 passes through Valentine. In the background, you have the Music Mountains to the left, and Laughing Jack Point on the right.

5- Rounding the curve of the Crozier Depot and the homestead 6- Finally, the train with the plateaus. Thank you for looking! Date: 06/27/16 21:37 Re: Monday Morning Hike in Valentine Author: Cajon92 Nice shots, David.

Hard to tell what it is, but it looks like it might be a former bunkhouse for the section crew. Date: 06/28/16 05:21 Re: Monday Morning Hike in Valentine Author: zchcsse Very nice shots! I like #3 the best.
