New Mexico is basically it now for semaphores such as:

Be advised the only regular traffic on this line is Amtrak's Southwest Chief and a (sometimes?) BNSF local from what I understand so the pickings for action will be very slim.

Assume you will be based in Phoenix area - will be 4 to 5 hours to the AZ/NM state line headed northeast to pick up I-40 then more time required to a specific location.

Have time to pop over to Colorado? Then consider catching the last wig wag signal on a mainline too:

Sorry I can't be of more help. The few other semaphores still around are generally protecting a crossing in a fixed (non-operational) position. However here is one that is closer to your home in Ohio:

I'll be flying into Vegas and will be staying in Utah. But we're planning on spending a lot of time in Arizona though. I wish I could go to Colorado. Thanks for the help 645! I appreciate it.

By the way, I'm from Indiana. No biggie though. I can't tell you how many people thought I was from Warren, OH.
