Kingman Express

Kingman Express Locomotive

While troubleshooting a couple of formatting problems on some older webpages, I ran across yet another of my favorite 3D images, the locomotive on display in Kingman, AZ. We originally took the photo and made the 3D image back in 2009 in a lower resolution format. I went back to the original photos from the archives in December of 2008 and found the two images required to make the anaglyph seen above. Click for the bigger, better 3D photo.

From the original post from February 2009:

Isn’t this a magnificent locomotive? This beauty is located in Kingman, AZ, on Route 66. Verna and I stopped there in December while we were on our winter RV cruise. I stood about twenty feet away from the locomotive and snapped a pair of images to merge into this nice 3D picture.

Across the road from the old Powerhouse, famed steam locomotive #3759 awaits your inspection. Designed as a coal burning engine, it was converted to burn oil in 1941. It was the last of the big steam engines to traverse the Santa Fe line to Kingman. It was finally taken out of service and presented to the city in 1957. Old #3759 was joined by a brightly decorated caboose in 1987.

I also made a 2D image in case you don’t have your 3D glasses handy, here.
