Western Railroad Discussion > A trip around ArizonaDate: 09/09/19 20:09 A trip around Arizona Author: wpamtk A trip around Arizona last week included photography of a few shortline operations:
1-A visit to the Port of Tucson found one of their GP30s and their ultra-rare GP28 tied up. 2-The San Pedro Valley's pair of GP30s were parked in Benson for the weekend. Something in the bushes (a javellina perhaps?) seemed to be stalking me, but I escaped intact. 3-I was in luck to be passing through Holbrook and finding a pair of Apache Ry. Alcos switching the BNSF interchange. More to follow...

5-Three of their freight units tied down near the depot with a cut of cars from the nearby large cement plant. 6-Finally, last Saturday the Grand Canyon Ry. ran steam. 2-8-0 #29 is on the point in Williams, while ex-SP&S #539 sits on static display.

Tom Date: 09/10/19 12:35 Re: A trip around Arizona Author: wpamtk Thanks, we had a great time. I got some mainline action as well, but since I mainly shoot film, my digital pictures are usually limited to stationary or slow-moving subjects. Here's an exception: a going shot at Winona with the San Francisco Peaks in the distance.
