I have some great sunset shots of the interchange with SF at Cadiz. On that end the A&C arrives from the east and interchanges cars with the BNSF, then returns (to Parker I think). I havn't been out there for a few years, but back then this interchange happened around 4-5 PM. The A&C would use 3 engines (GP38-2s then) and there trains would be in the neighborhood of 45 cars long. So your best bet would be to chase the train rather than waiting for it. I've only chased the A&C from Cadiz to about 25 miles east of there. But those raods were in good shape (for dirt). I don't know about the east end, but the west end is in sparsely populated area. Take basic survival supplies, lots of water and let someone know wher you are going to be safe.

The first was in the January 1992 issue of "CTC Board", the second was in the September 2002 issue of "Railfan & Railroad". There even has been a modeling article "Modeling Arizona & California's GP38's" in the June 1998 issue of "Railroad Model Craftsman" Dan If women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy ....
