Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

I dont have any pictures yet, but on May 15th, 16th, and 17th, i am making a three day train watching trip up to flagstaff and northern AZ. The 15th is East of Flag. (Cosnino & Darling). The 16th is West of flag. (bellemont, Maine, and Williams) and the 17th is just flagstaff. I plan on getting updated pictures of all the crossings at these locations.

It's going to be a bit different with the new wayside horns and quiet zones in Flagstaff. I wish I could get there soon myself.

I've never heard a wayside horn in person so i cant wait to hear it.

Here is a list of crossings i plan to update

Flagstaff:
Beaver St.
Steves Blvd.
Fanning Dr.
(i dont have to get the other two since they were recently updated)

Maine:
Park rd.

Cosnino
Cosnino Rd.

Williams:
7th st
Grand Canyon Blvd.
Rodeo rd.
Garland Prairie Rd. (both of them, apparently)
Sherwood access rd.

(i dont have to get the other two since they were recently updated)

That's for sure. Not much changes at San Francisco and Enterprise warrant updates there, unless there are changes, such as bell changes or other cosmetic changes.

Garland Prairie Rd. (both of them, apparently)

What do you mean by both? There is only one crossing out there that I know of...

Any plans for Pronghorn Ranch and/or Espee?

Also, I didn't know this, but near the Espee crossing is another kind of small railroad "park". It's called "The Redlake Junction Miniature Live Steam Railroad". The trains only run on weekends.

I don't know if they have any grade crossing signals or not, but I do know they have at least one ATSF style crossbuck, possibly donated from the old Espee crossing.

They do have a few searchlight signals made from old recycled CD and DVD media.

I want to visit this place when I get a chance to get back up there.

I read the Google map wrong and thought Sherwood Access road was Garland Prairie road again, my mistake.

I might get up to the two crossings you mentioned, i wasn't going to because of the GCR train schedule, but learning about the train park, i might

If you do make it up to the miniature train park, let me know. Whenever I can get back up there, I'd like to check it out.

I got pictures of all the crossings i said i would, except i only got twp Williams crossings, i will start sending them soon.

I did go up to the mini railroad, but no people or cars were there, so i left.
