California and Arizona Railfanning

Watch in HD! As I've come back to Michigan for college, my father has again taken over responsibility for rail fanning in Southern California, and recently word came to him that an incredible 8 pack (yes, you heard me right, EIGHT) of Tier 4 Credit Units (Tier 3 ES44c4's produced for every new Tier 4 ET44c4 produced this year) was making its way across the Transcon. Without hesitation, he set off for the Seligman subdivision in hopes of catching the train, and managed to catch it at Kingman, Topock, Klinefelter, Essex, and Lavic!! Also featured in this video are other Tier 4 credit units, foreign power, and even a CSX train that I managed to catch while running errands here in Grand Rapids!
