More Westbound Z trains! Daylight is starting to fade.. That's it for this trip. Back to Phoenix to grill some burgers! Hope you enjoyed tagging along on our outing this year. We're still deciding whether or not to head back up next year or maybe go South to catch some UP action along the Sunset Route! Thanks to Shaun McMillan for his photography!

I LOVE trip reports! It seems many of your shots were od fast-moving subjects--I thought I detected a bit of motion blur on a couple shots. What is track speed thru those parts?
Tracks speeds vary from 90 mph for Amtrak's Southwest Chief, to 70 mph for freights. Mike C Phoenix Az
Nice stuff, guys! Its fun to read a trip report from your own turf! I'm heading up there in May, and will check out your new spot. Oh yeah, we're also heading down to UP-land in July.
Neat reports guys. Like the pics. Looks like you had a good time. Wish I had the tiem to get out west and get some shots like those.
