Greetings From Araz Jct CA



A visit from Debate Coach clued me in on the $80 slide scanner offered at our local Walmart. I've felt bad at not being able to post my pictures. Well, here are a few, fresh out of the scanner. Let me know if the scanner is a keeper...






Here are some shots from Araz Jct California, about 5 miles west of Yuma AZ on the Sunset Route. I found a bluff which proved to be a great grandstand for the eastbound parade I experienced in the 102 degree heat.



Also found here is a fine example of the rapidly disappearing classic cantilever signals that once defined this route.

The scanner is a keeper. Yours has the same color shift and harshness as mine (reminiscent of old Fujichrome or Agfachrome in some ways)but it still beats nothing by a lot. Good to see those photos here!

Welcome to HAPT's Railfan Adventures


The Hebron Any Power Team is actually just a bunch of fun-loving rail enthusiasts who enjoy photographing and chasing all things railroad with friends. This bunch of guys cover a lot of ground for a group based way up "nawth" in Maine. We also have friends scattered around the country who contribute well to our hobby. In fact, our name is derived from our actual friends in the Worcester Foreign Power Team, except that Hebron hasn't seen a train since the 1950's so we'll settle for "any power".

Welcome and enjoy the eclectic collections of the contributors. Maine idealizes "life in the slow lane" so we present this blog as an effort to share our less time sensitive findings and to add to our hobby.
