Brief Description: You will be working a series of local trunk line pick-ups for BNSF's Seligman Subdivision. The activity begins, west of Winslow, with your local train on the move to Darling. Several cuts of cars wait to be picked up along the main, from Darling to Flagstaff. Some are empty cars headed back to distributors and others will be taken on to a classification yard in California. Another crew has been working to clear the spurs and arrange cuts for your pick ups. You'll tie on with their power at McPhetridge(Railhead) and continue moving west. After stopping for a deadhead crew at Seligman, the haul continues to Needles. Over 45 trains raise the dust as they pass by, headed east on this very scenic route. The entire 3-part activity will take more than 7 hours to complete, but it will go by quickly with all the railroad action.
