    Well I was able to do a little rail fanning on my vacation last month. I took the family to northern Arizona and stayed in Williams and flagstaff. Checked out the Grand Canyon railway, flagstaff depot, and Nevada southern RR. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Interesting park bench. Nobody will be stealing that! Did you get to ride the Grand Canyon train?

    No we didn't. That was the original plan but other things came up. I was able to see the depot in the Grand Canyon as well. I have more pics on my camera at home I will put up too. Here are some more from my phone.

    The Grand Canyon ride is the second best in the state. The Verde Canyon is a better ride. Did you see the mallet in Flagstaff?

    I did see the loco near the station but wasn't able to go get a pic. We were running short on time. I wanted to stop at the Mesa verde line as well when we were in Sonoma but time dictated once again.

    I know some of these aren't the greatest shots due to sunlight and they are from my phone.

    This was a trip no the national parks and monuments. So if we were there we stopped. Such was the case for the Nevada southern and the amtrak depot in flagstaff.

    I assume the bench in Flagstaff contains a charming daughter-type-person, y/n?

    Aside from her, thanks for interesting photos of equipment I'd like to see in person....Bucket List #n+1.

    That Nevada Southern SW looks sharp. Is it their primary motive power?

    All there stuff I have pics of came from there display area. No access to the round house area. They only run trains on weekends and we went through there on a Monday.
