ARIZONA AND CALIFORNIA RAILROAD
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, September 19, 2003 6:21 PM
Howdy all! I Recently moved here to Wickenburg, Az ( in a brief moment of stupidity) and for the first time today it was cool enough (briefly) to go trackside.
This is a BNSF line here, but I was treated to a beautiful westbound Arizona and California train for my fiirst video this morning. After visiting some A&C web sights, I found out they have trackage rights through here.
My question is, does anyone know the frequency of the A&C trains through here. Is it "as needed" or is there any given days and approximate times????? I'd love to shoot some more video and pics of these beautiful locomotives. Its really nice to see something different these days. Thanks guys ~Keith~

The Arizona & California Railroad is shown in one of the Alco trilogy tapes. The Alcos look real good on the tape. If I ever get out that way I would love to see them in action.

I have had 4 knee surgeries and 2 disks replaced in my neck. One of these days I might find it necessary to relocate out that way. Would you recommend your area. The cold is a problem (go figure), so what do you think?
