Fuel and Water Tanks
Kingman, like a lot of towns along old Route 66 owes its creation to the Santa Fe railroad more than to Route 66. Kingman was named after Lewis Kingman, the locating engineer for the railroad, the man responsible for selecting the location of the roadbed.
This illusionary mural depicting a steam locomotive bursting through the water tank is located on historic route 66 in downtown Kingman at Andy Devine Avenue and Fifth Street.

Kingman was, and still is a rail yard town, although fewer trains actually stop because they are diesels which do not require coal or water. The old water tanks, used to fill the tenders of steam engines, are still visible near the station which is still used by Amtrak.

The tanks are historic sturcture number 8600386. Be sure to see these additional railroad pictures.
