"The Peavine" - Phoenix Subdivision of BNSF Railway

"The Peavine" - Phoenix Subdivision of BNSF Railway
A look in 4K of the Phoenix subdivision of the BNSF Railway. until 1960 Ash Fork itself was on the transcontinental Santa Fe line but in 1960 it was bypassed. However trains remain to Phoenix and the line is presently busier than in years with the rapid growth of the city of Phoenix and corresponding upswing in Intermodal traffic. In fact a new intermodal facility is planned at Wittmann on this line to better serve the rapidly growing Phoenix metropolitan area!
A word of note: The Ashfork Historical Museum is HIGHLY recommended... it charges no admission and has an OUTSTANDING replica display of the Escalante Harvey House restaurant with amazing Santa Fe Railroad history. Highly recommended! And great prices for your "Route 66" gifts as well! I was just there a few weeks ago and will be going back the next time I'm in Ash Fork!!!
Also of interest is the Monday thru Friday interchange operation at Castle Hot Springs with the Arizona and California Railroad which has trackage rights into Phoenix.
Comments are very welcome!!! Enjoy!

    I had an uncle who spent his full career as a Santa Fe engineer in Arizona. He gave me my first train ride, but I was too young to remember. One of his runs was the Peavine. This video shows a lot of the beauty in Arizona that most people will never see. His last run just before he died was the Prescott to Paulden. After his death they closed the Prescott depot and pulled up the tracks. Thank you for reminding me of him and how much he is missed. Thank you for your excellent videos, and please don't stop, they are the very best!

When I started working for the Santa Fe, I spent plenty of time working with the tie gang,, a rail change gang,, Roadmaster relief job at Glendale, and track rebuilding gang around Phoenix (Mobest) Yard.

    The name “Hassayampa” comes from a Yavapai Indian word, hayesamo, meaning “following the water as far as it goes.” Apache Indians referred to it as the “upside down river” because it flows underground most of the way. From the web :)
