Across Arizona Part 1 [BNSF'S ARIZONA MAIN LINE]

Originally released on DVD in 2014, this is the first of a two-part series covering BNSF's Transcontinental Main Line across Arizona. We begin our tour of the former Santa Fe line at Needles, California and end at Williams Junction, Arizona where the Grand Canyon Railway takes riders to the breathtaking south rim of the Grand Canyon.

Big trains running through breathtaking scenery of the American Southwest is what this program is all about!

I love these, they have that old pentrex feel but with modern day trains and visuals!

[SPRailfan]

Thank you for making such great documentaries! ❤👍

[motobutch]

Awesome job! Very nice video of one of the best railfan areas ever.

[RogerThunderhandsGilbert]

Excellent, can't wait for part 2, , My old stomping grounds!

[atsflife]

This is by far my favorite video from 7idea Across Arizona 1&2 when I bought both dvds in 2014

[JOHNNYCARROLL-fe]

spot on.excellent photography/narration.

[GEVOlutionCPKC]

Another breaking It friend amazing capture 👏🏼

[asullivan]

Interesting/ informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job/detailed train🚂maps. Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Remember Jimmy Rogers. The " Singing Break man " 🎸🎶. ( 1897 thru 1933 ) Was a genuine break man till changing his R.R. career to an entertainment career ( 1926 thru 1933 ) classical hit. The " Break Mans Blues ". 😭. Had the good fortune to visit some of those places years ago. The video brings back wonderful distant memories😉 Viewing this presentation from the safe zone of my computer room. Along the " Space Coast " 🚀 of Florida. Currently a commercial & passenger service are 2 miles from home. It's relaxing to faintly hear the 🚂 trains horn late in the evening🌛. Wishing viewers R.R. employees a safe/healthy/prosperous ( 2024 ) 🌈🎉😉.

Great video! I live between Kingman and Yucca. This truly is a railfan's paradise. I can't wait for part 2.

Man, you got me. Trains and the desert landscape both fascinate me. It’s been two years since I last visited Arizona. I’m overdue for another visit.

[brianwaldrop]

Excellent videography and creative camera angles! Well-done, 7 Idea :)

[TigerDominic-uhdv]

Nice Scenery between Needles and Kingman 😊

[KandiKlover]

Love it, though there's no such as Kingman Canyon. Part of that is Sawmill Canyon and the other Boxwood canyon. Also it's not that cactusy. You also missed out on filming the BNSF local coming into town and the former SP switchers at the industrial yard that interchange with the mainline.

[jackvarrella]

Rode the Grand Canyon Train. It was very fun

[samh]

2014. That explains why there is no Truxton flyover.

[Pasco-Spokane-Railfan-]

Can you do the Stampede and Yakima Valley Subs here in Washington

[kenn]

Thank you. This is another great video. Im guessing it was filmed before 2020? The reason is, you didn't film the Truxton Flyover. I'd love to see you go back and include that in this video. It's a very cool engineering job. It would add to the beauty of this video.

[Tony-lesy]

It's like "Marty Stouffer's Wild America" but with trains

[rogertemple]

If you like watching trains then you'll like watching this.

15 minute mark: cool shot with drone overhead Intermodal train!
Wait maybe that wasn't a drone the train blew its horn for the Crossing....
