At Kingman, Jack got off his train to wait for another westbound freight train. While waiting at the Kingman depot he was able to get a shot of the station and some of the water wells. US 66 used to cross the tracks just west of the depot and then go down the canyon between the east and westbound tracks.

An eastbound has stopped at Kingman. By looking at the shadows it appears to be a little before noon. I think the train is the first section of the Fast Mail. The lead engine is the helper and it will be cut out at Yampai. This was the longest helper district on the Santa Fe at 115 miles.

While the train is stopped the engineer gets off the engine to oil the running gear.
