Late Amtrak Southwest Chief climbing to the AZ Divide
Author: tferk

Amtrak 4 was 3 hours, 29 minutes late into Flagstaff, AZ, this morning.  Some 8 miles west of Flagstaff and 14 minutes before its arrival there, #4 has cleared Bellemont and is climbing the final mile to crest the Arizona Divide.

Nicely done! A little bit of a hike to get to that spot?

I'm guessing he parked well off the shoulder. Nice climb!

No drone.   Hiking the old fashioned way.
