About ACR_Ted

I am a former ACR agent-operator now retired and living in the Phoenix, Arizona area. I worked there for 11 years, mostly at Steelton, Frater and Hawk Junction. I never did work Wawa and only one weekend at Franz. I have a website with lots of ACR photos, as well as a lot of other railways. http://algomacentral.railfan.net/

Psgr Extra 163 North has a full train of the "Jessie James" cars near the peak of the fall colour season. The cars were called "Jesse James" account they were old former DRGW built around 1912. The Psgr Extras were a Canyon Turn and were called when the regular trains No. 1 and No. 2 were at full capacity.

I was making a tour of the line and here No. 1 is taking the siding for No. 2. I had just started working for the ACR so I had to see what the road looked like...even though it was on my own time it was a good trip.

A westbound local is crossing the Little Pic River bridge on a very cold December day. Compare with Chris Wilson's photo taken at the same place 45 years later - the trees certainly have grown quite a bit.

I used 16 #25B flashbulbs to light this consist - one bulb at a time! Cameras were set on bulb, then I fired a bulb, reloaded, walked a few feet, fired another bulb, etc. Conductor gave permission to shoot as long as the passengers were not bothered, and they were not. Taken on Kodachrome 64 film.

No. 12 derailed at the north switch Canyon when a ore car apparently had a problem at the switch. I remember the DNR was not amused at the iron ore (sinter) going into the Agawa River, but the Agawa had so much iron in it anyways that the water was red at times.
