    Back in March I traveled with my daughter and granddaughter to the Grand Canyon. Out route took us through Albuquerque and from there westward on IH 40 to Williams, AZ. We paralleled the BNSF transcon most of the way. I'd never seen such a densely traveled corridor in all my life - one train after another after another, with at least two three-way meets before the sun set on us.
    After the Grand Canyon adventure, we decided to visit Sedona which added a whole day delay to our return trip, so we had to stay overnight in Flagstaff. I secretly managed to ferret out a hotel directly across from the Seligman Sub double main on the east side of town. Unfortunately, my daughter beat me to the office and we ended up with a room not facing the tracks, but we could hear them ... one after another. What was cool was I pulled up the Virtual Railfan channel for Flagstaff, and amazed my granddaughter by being able to predict when an eastbound would roll by the hotel (after seeing it on the passenger station camera two miles to our west). Similarly, we'd hear westbounds go by and then watch them show up on camera two minutes later.
