Railfan Diaries 20 - Holbrook to Ludlow

Through July and August of 2011, Dave Simpson and three friends spent 40 days on the road railfanning the USA and Canada.

The territory they covered in this time was immense: from California to Washington, British Columbia, Alberta to Nebraska, Wyoming, Arizona and back to California.

This series of the Railfan Diaries – the 2011 Adventures – features the video footage shot by Dave on their adventure and is presented in the geographical sequence in which it was shot.

With the aid of a good atlas or on-line mapping tool, you can follow their journey and get a real feel of the adventure they had.

By now our adventurers are heading home and Volume 20 covers the journey from Holbrook and Winslow Arizona to Amboy and Ludlow California.

This area encompasses the BNSF Seligman and Needles subdivisions through the Mojave desert.

Clear skies and a dry landscape provide unique lighting conditions.
