Day 14: Route 66

Twisters in Williams, AZ

A cross country road trip wouldn’t be complete without including historic route 66 in Arizona. And a trip there wouldn’t be complete without a malt shake (or a beer float) at Twisters in Williams, AZ.

Hackberry General Store on Route 66

Same goes for the famous Hackberry General Store on Route 66. Both outside and inside, the store is filled with memorabilia of Route 66 and its long history.

Santa Fe freight train along Route 66

I was also lucky enough to spot a gorgeous Santa Fe freight train traveling on the railroad along route 66. Given that these long freight trains travel at a very low speed I was easily able to pass the train and find a nice spot few miles down the road where I waited for the same train to arrive and capture it in a series of cool images.
