Semaphores and Summits, Cuts and Curves… the Southern Pacific Sunset route from Deming NM to Red Rock AZ offers plenty of interesting and classic action. With three major summits even well powered trains or trains with helpers fight to conquer the over 1% grades.
Operations between Tucson and Mescal are unique with the eastbound or #2 track following the Pantano wash on the original SP right of way with it’s many curves and active semaphore signals, curves limiting speeds to around 25 MPH.
The westbound or #1 track is the former El Paso & Southwestern built much later, it takes the tops of the ridge lines with numerous cuts and fills and is good for 70 MPH running. The two lines cross over each other on a spectacular bridge that can be used as a backdrop from almost any direction.
See pool power, first generation SP and DRGW power, and new power up to the G.E. AC units. Units with operating Mars lights and units still in SPSF merger colors are a real bonus!
Some of the locations covered are: Deming NM, Lordsburg NM, Steins NM, San Simon AZ, Bowie AZ, Wilcox AZ, Dragoon AZ, Benson AZ, Mescal AZ, Vail AZ, Tucson AZ, and Red Rock AZ.
Great classic Southern Pacific action from the early 1990’s on this over three hour, two disc set!
Dennis Jenko left the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad in 1988, after 20 years as a locomotive engineer on the Illinois Division. In 1990 Dennis purchased a professional camcorder and began to capture all his favorite railroads. With family in Tucson he made quite a few trips to Arizona to capture Southern Pacific, and Santa Fe. Although Emery Gulash filmed Santa Fe, he never got down to the SP, but Dennis did. We hope you enjoy this look at an often overlooked part of the Southern Pacific.

Camera of Terry Lewis
In 2004, Terry Lewis & friends made a trip to Folkston Georgia, to check out the Folkston Funnel. The Folkston Funnel is a double track that serves as the main artery for railroad traffic into and out of Florida. From the viewing platform in Folkston, visitors can see trains passing on their way to and from Jacksonville Florida, in the south, and a split north of town where trains go west to Waycross Georgia, and north to Savannah.
In 2004, approximately 40 trains a day on each track passed through the funnel. Locomotives of different railroads, leased units and different CSX paint schemes can be found. Almost every day, one of the two tracks was used as a hold-out at the Martin Street crossing, holding the trains there waiting to get into Rice Yard at Waycross, GA., thus making the double-track railroad a single-track railroad, most of the day!
So join us for a trip back to 2004 to check out all the Rail action at the Folkston Funnel as captured by Terry Lewis!
