Ted Date: 04/17/17 19:43 Re: BNSF around Kingman AZ Author: SouthWestRailCams Very Nice Series of Photos Ted, Thanks for Sharing. One day I would like to make it up there especially when it gets too hot out here in the desert along UP's Sunset Route.

Tim Costello Date: 04/18/17 08:19 Re: BNSF around Kingman AZ Author: TCnR Nice work. Crozier Canyon looks like an interesting area.
t4p Date: 04/18/17 13:28 Re: BNSF around Kingman AZ Author: Fred Great shots !! Is it fairly easy access to the canyon ? How about with a "regular" car ? Plan to be out there later this year in late Oct.

Date: 04/18/17 16:26 Re: BNSF around Kingman AZ Author: TCnR Most of the Kingman locations are right next to a paved road that continues to the city baseball field.

I second that place for good food. Really nice photos. Cool to see a Santa Fe painted GP39-2 and a newly rebuilt GP60M-3 also a B40-8W all out on a mainline freight. SantaFeRuss Posted from Android |
