The Railroads of Arizona

I was co-oping with Parker-Hannifin in Phoenix, Arizona during the first 7 months of 2000. When not at work or church, it was common to find my trackside. The Grand Canyon State has plenty of railroading, including two transcontinental mainlines, their branchlines, and several independent shortlines. I went out railfanning several times and only scratched the surface of Arizona Railroading. Fortunately, that included several good shots...

1. Santa Fe's steel highway--the BNSF Seligman Subdivision
2. BNSF's Phoenix Subdivision
3. The Union (Southern) Pacific Sunset Route
4. Memorial Day Weekend 2000
5. The Clifton Branch
