On the right, a GP30. This is the unit that USA trains is coming out with...for local color, buying an undecorated and painting it to match the A&C would be kind of a cool idea! It's nice to see many of these old diesels looking good and still earning their keep. |
On the left you see a string of GP30m's. These all were built sometime in the early 1960's. They still are part of the motive power fleet for the A&C although, these appear to have been resting awhile here. Based on what I can find, it seems that the newest egines on this shortline were built in the early 1970's. This Railroad originally was a part of the ATS&F. It was then part of the Line acquired from ATSF by ParkSierra Corp. on May 9, 1991. Most recently, is was acquired by RailAmerica on November 6, 2001. |
I often go to Lake Havasu, AZ due to my job and I always have to go through Parker, AZ. In having to wait for a freight train I noticed some older Diesel units in the Arizona & California Railroad motif. I finally stopped to take some photos. Approx. Annual Carloads: 18,000 Commodities Moved: Cement, asphalt, forest products and steel ARZC Interchange: BNSF @ Cadiz, CA & Phoeniz, AZ Miles Operated: 346 Approx. Annual Carloads: 18,000 |

The partsNumber 4004 of the A&C. This is an EMD SD-40M built in 1966. This is right in front of the building that they use as a Diesel Maintenance shed. |

Nice to see a REAL piece of MOW equipment. This thing has some beef to it! I don't have any history on this piece of equipment. The original official website for this Railroad is no longer active since it became part of the RailAmerica group. |

On the left, you see an old parlor car with observation deck. Again - once I can do more research, I will be able to post some data on this great looking car. |
