Maine Lives In California!

This weekend was one filled with adventure. I'll wait for the slides to post a report here. I collected only one county, that containing Kingman AZ. I came across something that MUST be noted. It was the find of the trip, really of all my time in SoCal.

I was coming back west from Barstow and decided to follow old Rte 66 as much as was possible. That road roughly parallels the Santa Fe all the way to downtown Victorville. Just before Victorville (2-3 miles east) there is a large asphalt plant. It has its own power for switching. On display for all to see - BAR 326 was in use as a plant switcher, in the Iron Roads blue livery. No changes have been made to the paint, as far as I could see from the road.

Those slides (Kingman, Needles, Daggett, Barstow, and more) are on their way to the processor, courtesy of the Rancho Cucamonga Walmart. Driving through the Mojave was awesome.

P.S. - Winter is coming to Maine. I'm listening to the scanner feed from my room in 72 degree Ontario CA. I'm hearing 3 Guilford detectors - Readfield (134.1), Lewiston (157.2) and Grey (176.7). That becomes possible once the trees drop their foliage for the winter.
