The American southwest of Arizona is home to monumental monoliths, grand canyons, petrified forests, and vividly painted deserts. It is here that you'll find one of the busiest mainline railroads in America!
Join 7idea Productions on a fantastic adventure across the Grand Canyon State on BNSF's Seligman and Gallup Subdivisions. In Part 1 of this two part series, we will travel the western half of the state beginning at Needles, California.
The double-track main line heads east through Topock and across the Mojave Desert to Kingman Canyon. The steady drumming of big GE diesels fills the air as the grade reaches 1.8%. We continue through Crozier Canyon, the double-track tunnel at Nelson, Seligman, and up the western slope of the Colorado Plateau to Williams, just south of the Grand Canyon. The scenery changes dramatically as the railroad gains over 6,000 feet in elevation.
Seeing over seventy trains per day, this is one of the most popular railfan destinations in the west! Join us as we travel "Across Arizona! BNSF's Arizona Mainline Part 1: Needles to Williams."
This program was shot in April and May of 2014.

Unbelievable! Aaron Bentson and 7idea productions goes to Arizona and creates another masterpiece. I own many videos about the BNSF in Arizona, but none like this. What was different...he showed the areas where the mainline tracks split from each other and then join again. The coverage of the Crookton Cutoff was wonderful. Most filmakers skip over that area, but Aaron didn't. If you love Northern Arizona and BNSF's old Santa Fe mainline, you need this! I'm ready to buy 'Across Arizona Part 2' as soon as it comes out.
