Re: (NNG) - On the Road Again ... Part 3

And just a few more -

The mesa I found after lunch juts out from a much larger mountain, and is situated between two of the three or four large bridges on the former AT&SF's newer eastbound line approaching Kingman.  Finally, after I waited for about three hours, an eastbound high-priority intermodal train passed by:


Note the steeper westbound line along the bottom of the canyon to the lower left and Old-Old-Old Route 66 (which dead-ends a mile or so farther west) between the two levels of the railroad :


The hill in the background of the above shot is where Tom Gildersleeve's friend Gordon Glattenberg was standing when he caught this fine shot of #3751 heading east a few several years ago:


The long wait over at last, I headed west once again. Around midnight, west of Needles, it was time for another break.  The moon, late enough on Tuesday, was REALLY late coming up on Friday night, and took a while to get high enough to be seen above a train. Then it was another wait of over an hour for a train to show up ...
