FLAGSTAFF, AZ - - More trains than you can count? Not quite. But 80 - 100 freight trains per day do rumble thru Flagstaff making it the busiest freight line in the world. Amtrak also adds a couple of passenger routes to that total. Flagstaff likes trains enough to have an annual Train Day celebration. We missed it by a week.
A display near the tracks shows an Arizona Lumber & Timber Company Baldwin steam engine. "Two Spots" was nicknamed due to canvas water bags rubbing off the #5 in 25 on the engine's cab.
