    Mostly trains this time but starting off with a car. Trains and cars are what Route 66 was and is about. Originally it was the AT&SF rail line. There were town built to support the line with Harvey Houses for travelers and the employees had to live somewhere. Then when automobiles became more common the road was built. Route 66 is a series of roads connected together to form Route 66. This portion is Andy Devine Road in Kingman.
    Up first. Vintage truck in front of Mister D's Diner.
    Across the street is a park with a rather beefy 4-8-4 AT&SF (Santa Fe) locomotive. I believe that was the largest locomotive they used.
    Next a modern train with 5 locomotives going past the Beale Hotel and coming up on the Kingman station. It wasn't stopping and was going close to 50 MPH. The locomotives put out about 4400 HP each and put out a lot of heat.
    Last is the Kingman train station. It was built in 1907 so predates Route 66.
