During the Summer of 2008, I took a vacation with the family to Las Vegas Nevada. We managed to squeeze some time in to visit Kingman Arizona. We only stayed there for about an hour & a half but saw several trains. Highlights: 00:00 Westbound intermodal with Swoosh, H1, H2, and Warbonnet scheme 01:06 Westbound intermodal with H2 scheme and interesting Billboard 01:55 Westbound intermodal with Swoosh & H2 schemes 03:07 Overview of Kingman Canyon 03:29 My parents in the Canyon. Wanted to leave in the human element. 03:57 Eastbound intermodal: Swoosh, Warbonnet, H2 schemes 06:08 *BEST CLIP* Eastbound with 6 colorful units running elephant style. BNSF H2, BN white-face, ATSF warbonnet schemes all represented + a borrowed Norfolk Southern unit. (This was the only mixed freight I saw that day) 08:12 Powerhouse Visitor Center at Kingman AZ. You will also see a model railroad layout on the inside. I think it was O gauge. All footage recorded by (C) Jared R. Davis of Whistlepost Productions

BNSF Passing thru Kingman, AZ. Nice blow of the horn by the driver!
I dont thik the guy realized what he filmed here! 45 SECONDS IN TO THE CLIP If anyone knows what these cars are, please let me know, I live here and see trains all the time, but never see these until mow. AND IT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. THE TRAIN RUNS RIGHT THROUGH OUR TOWN DOWN THE FAMOUS route 66! SO WE SEE EVERY TRAIN THAT PASSES LIKE EVERY 30 MINUTES! Notice on top of the cars they are painted yellow! Could this possibly be for the people on the yellow list? I have seen these many times now and have seen them in red and blue as well. If you know what kind of cars these are and what they are used for let me know please. We have also seen them at night with up to 16 Hummers with 50 cal. guns mounted lined up along the tracks with heir lights facing outwards so you can not see in with their regular lights and high power spot lights.Attack helicopter activity is getting crazy but only at night and I don’t have a night vision cam.
