westbound at walapai, arizona

BNSF 4195 leads this JB Hunt stack train through Walapai, Arizona at MP 504. In a few minutes, this train would be rolling past Kingman, Arizona on the BNSF Seligman Subdivision. The headlamp in the far distance is another WB in the hole letting three westbounds pass before heading west. This was one of the few trains that didn't feature a warbonnet in the consist.

The Arizona terrain featured wildflowers and plenty of green grass. Much of the rain that dumped record amounts of rain on Southern California, also watered the desert floors of Arizona.
One of the best shots posted. This shot reminds me of what I could see off in the distance when traveling through AZ a few years ago. Too much of a hurry to get back home to Ohio I think it was I-40 I was on.

First off, thanks to everyone for taking time to vote on the images, it takes time. And thanks for the encouraging words.

This location is east of Kingman, AZ just off of old Route 66. It was very easy to access. I-40 is about 12-15 miles to the south at this spot. Thanks again...

Looks a bit underexposed for my tastes and maybe with just a bit more light the colors would pop a lot more.
