The BNSF former Santa Fe 'Transcon' Railway in Western Arizona

The BNSF “Santa Fe” Transcon Railway in Western Arizona (and Needles!) in 4K!

UPDATES: This video has updated new scenes from Seligman, Nelson Tunnel, Lhoist Nelson Plant, as well as more coverage of the east side of Kingman as well as the famous Happy Jack Wash bridge near Haviland!

The former Santa Fe “Transcon” across Arizona is both STUNNINGLY active (up to 90 trains per day although the latest average is perhaps 70 or so!) as well as incredibly scenic. It literally is a running conveyer belt of the world economy.

The epic scenery from the ancient walls of Kingman Canyon, the amazing crossing of the Colorado River into California, to the brand new breathtaking $36,000,000.00 crossover at Truxton.

The line is steeped in Santa Fe history, with Santa Fe Railway stations & Santa Fe emblem painted bridges still in abundance nearly 30 years after the Santa Fe was merged with Burlington Northern.
