Cotton Belt 9654 Pantano - On September 9, 1990 a derailment on the westbound track caused a large number of westbound trains to detour over the eastbound number 1 track. Hear we have SSW 9654 west at the water tower and semaphore signal at Pantano, AZ. The very hot BSMFF "Blue Streak Merchandise" has plenty of power to get to Tucson and finally Los Angeles.

Rick Doughty (62) I have been photographing trains since 1975. My favorite railroad is the Denver & Rio Grande Western. My photos have been featured in CTC Board, Railfan & Railroad, Railroads Illustrated, many railroad book and motive power annuals. I also enjoy severe weather photography and storm chasing. I play drums for my local church. I live in southern Idaho with my wonderful wife Stacey, who enjoys going with me on train watching adventures.
