Headed for Copper Country and the surrounding area in a week or so.

Can anybody fill me in on current operations of the following:

Apache RR: Are they running every day? Every other day? Any guess as to one day being better than others? Should I just hang out in Holbrook and hope they show up?

Arizona Eastern: Same question, and another--what are they running for power these days? i assume Globe is their base of operations, correct?

Copper Basin: The last time Iwas there, their road train to the outside world was a night job. Is that still true? what operations can a visiting railfan see without getting arrested?

Lastly, What is the Grand Canyon RR running ofr power on the winter time trains?

Much gratitude for anybody who can help.
