(Kiddies, don't try this at home.) I moved off the gated grade crossing LONG BEFORE this westbound could scream past me in the next photo, it was a telephoto shot so looks closer than it actually was, and no, my back was guarded, there were no trains sneaking up behind me either! Eastward, and down the hill from Yampai, Fort Rock Road crosses the double tracks at this exact point. The hills have given way to another broad level plain. The town of Seligman (Konan sie Deutsch sprechen?) is barely visible in the far distance to the left of the approaching train. Seligman is home to the greatest concentration of Route 66 kitsch in Arizona, if not the whole country.
