(BM & LP) Abandoned Railway - Part 1-
An amazing 26 miles one way ride in this video (the first part) on the Black Mesa & Lake Powell Railroad, which ceased to operate in August 2019. It was a private electrified railroad that has operated in the north of Arizona. Transporting coal from 78 miles (126km) from Peabody Energy's Kayenta coal mine, to PAGE AZ. the electricity generating plant, The line was built in early 1970 and was the first railroad electrified at 50,000 volts. On this occasion I was alone, without knowing what I could find, wich added more intrigue to this route, but everything went well.

I am editing part 2 that will also include the 360 camera, to give it a change and see how beautiful the landscape is.
Absolutely amazing journey and find!! Thanks for taking us along! You have inspired me to build my own cart and run the abandoned rails!!
Sad the BM&LP was Shut down When the Power Plant in Page Arizona was Shut down And I think the Electric Locomotives Where Scrapped Sad 😔 Rest in Peace BM&LP Awesome Video the long Gone BM&LP Railroad of Arizona 😥😥😥💘💘💘💘❤️🔥❤️🔥💯💯💯💯

I understand that some BM&LP E60C-2s are still operating on the Deseret Powel railroad but I don't know if it is the entire fleet of the previous railroad
Concrete ties on an abandoned railroad. Really cool
Nice trip Archie! Parched out that way ! Thnk u for taking us !! 👏👏🤘🤘
It's too bad they haven't incorporated this 26 mile line, into a local transportation hub and built around it, nor found a way to collect tourism dollars with an excursion line.

Отлично!!!
coal crusher silo .. Peabody conveyor belt bridge obviously the bridge belt has been removed but if you search it out you can find pics with the conveyor in tact, black mesa mine coal, operated for 46 years, last run late august 2019 .. a restaurant is planned for the top of the silo so it wasn't demolished . . .
Wow. A great trip! The rails and roadbed look in great shape.
Very nice!!

Looks like they spent some money on the track using concrete sleepers, probably be there for a long time those sleepers are not easily removed without damage, thx 4 the video always nice the outback, B safe
5:28 I really didn't think it was abandoned until you had to pull your cart over the dirt patch

U can install a solar panel on your mini train. Free energy
Beautiful RR... Concrete Ties, Heavy Rail, and Deep Ballast. Plus, the mine was still viable from what I understand. Coal will make a come-back someday - I'm sure of it = unless they replaced the old power plant with nuclear. Then, the RR is screwed.
Why are there so many abandoned railway lines in that part of the world?
@emmber19
Ай бұрын
There are a lot of abandoned mines out there, between the gold rush and the uranium rush there's been a lot of mineral exploration. Most of these railroads were built to carry mining products. The dry climate also preserves them better than the eastern railroads, making it appear that there are more railroads in the West when actually there are just more surviving railroads. Eastern railroads tend to get buried by plants and soil fairly quickly when left unmaintained.
I bet you get some wicked black widow spiders! 🕷️
Awesome video. The line is in great condition. You could post a version with music (like the 360 goat canyon video) for rail fans soothing moments!! Thanks again!

Can you try “Railcart Chasing Metrolink” by using “Mountain Chase” from Horton Hears A Who please? All you have to do is move the Railcart to California.
Very Cool 😎 I'm usually good at finding your route on Google Maps/Satellite View so I can follow along but even close inspection of Keyenta Mine and Page I didn't see any tracks 😞 Heh, I guess I should have watched it first and you show me where you are 😉 I've wondered why you don't carry a small whisk broom and maybe a garden trowel for clearing out a road crossing to make your trip back easier .. is it because that would attract attention to the fact that someone is using the rails?
Your gonna spoil yourself on such nice track
Ho ho ho 😮
Archie did you see any mile posts on the railway. That track is still in great condition.
I would so love to do that
Looks like ribbon rail
