- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- In this first part of the route of the abandoned MAGMA ARIZONA railway, in the United States of America. Where I was only able to do 16 miles of the entire 30 miles, I did those 16 miles in 2 stages (2 chapters) because arriving at the QUEENS River the wooden bridge was blocked, that is, I could not reach SUPERIOR AR. where the copper mine was located. and on the same day I returned to Hwy 60, dismantled the railcart and drove my car to the other side of the bridge, where I was able to get to SUPERIOR. That part is in chapter (2). This former railway was originally built as a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge line, but was converted to a 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge line in 1923. Originally headquartered in Superior , Arizona,
The Magma was the last short line industrial railway to use steam power, dieselizing on September 4, 1968.
You can also find a lot of information on the internet about this railroad and photos of its steamers and diesels and the Baldwins. Very interesting engine exhaust system..
ESPAÑOL : En esta primera parte del recorrido del abandonado ferrocarril MAGMA ARIZONA, donde solamente pude hacer 16 millas de las 30 millas que tiene su totalidad, esas 16 millas lo hice en 2 etapas ( 2 capitulos) porque llegando al rio QUEENS se encuentra bloquedo el puente de madera ,o sea no pude llegar a SUPERIOR AR. donde se encontraba la mina de cobre. y en el mismo dia regrese hasta la hwy 60 desarme el railcart y me dirigi en mi auto hasta el otro lado del puente, donde si pude llegar a SUPERIOR. esa parte esta en el capítulo ( 2 ) . Este antiguo ferrocarril se construyó originalmente como una línea de vía estrecha de 3 pies ( 914 mm ) , pero se convirtió en una línea de 4 pies 8+1 ⁄ 2 pulgadas(1435 mm) de ancho estándar en 1923. Originalmente con su sede enSuperior, Arizona,
El Magma fue el último ferrocarril industrial de línea corta que utilizó energía de vapor , dieselizándose el 4 de septiembre de 1968.
tambien se puede encontrar mucha informacion de este ferrocarril y fotos de sus vaporeras y diesel y las Baldwin . muy interesantes su sistema de escape del motor..

Yeah. closed the gates. But on that same day I returned, disarmed it and went to the other side of the bridge and finished my journey to Superior, Arizona. which is the second part of the video that I will upload to my channel shortly. Thank you.
Archie… this ride is among your best routes & presentations. Great job.
Thanks a lot!
Brought back memories for me. I rode that line a few times when I worked for Magma Copper in the late 60s and early 70s after high school. It was in much better condition at that time.
Love seeing those huge Saguaro cactus. You know your really in the desert when you see them dotting the countryside! This is the most interesting landscape I've seen you pass through. Thanks for sharing!
Sir, you are living my Dreams. Love your stuff. The presentation, Camera views, editing skills are the best I've seen on this subject. Wish i lived closer to you and hope to meet you someday.
Que hermoso paseo, aunque haya sido inconcluso!!!, es un placer y una terapia dejarse llevar por el relajante paseo del zorrito !!!, gracias Archie !!!, Saludos desde San Luis, Argentina !!!
That looks like my idea of heaven. Peace and tranquillity, and no one else around.
Great views. The cactus was huge that time of years. Very green and some flowers. Still cool enough that you can be out in the middle of the day in the sun. Some sketchy area where the guys were shooting guns. Looked like homeless area where people were sleeping in vehicles'. I question the closed area being private. There is easement for water lines and electric line running thru there. Strange.
The hours you put into the research of locations. Studying the maps and history. A lot goes into your making these videos. As long as your having fun. That's all that counts. Thanks for taking us all along.
thank you mate for the adventure im nearly finished building my railway speeder here in Australia will post some video's soon
I enjoyed your trip and the beautiful surroundings again and can't wait for the second part of your trip, thank you again for sharing this video ;-)
От души😎 кайфую от таких путешествий.

Great video, Archie! What beautiful country that is!
It really is!
Thank you for providing the closed captioning.
All the locomotives from that railroad are still there, its very interesting to see them ive been to basically all of the locomotives from there. Aswell as i have been on the tracks before amazing place.
Where are they? Up at Superior? I know one of them is down at the AZ Railway Museum in Chandler.
@@bryce2680 the one at az railway museum is a alco the steam engines are one is at a casino i think in Texas and another at mcstillmor railroad park in chandler also i think
@@bryce2680 so engine no.5 is a 2-8-0 that is at the Galveston RR museum, engine 3 a also rs3 is at the AZ railroad museum, no6 is at Mccormick-stillman railroad park in scottsdale arizona, engine no.7 is in superior Arizona and stored there and lastly engine no 10 is a DRS-6-6-1500 and is in the arizona railway museum in chandler AZ.
YASSS IVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS i’ve spent so many years scouting out and reaserching this railroad but google maps can only take you so far, this line had a lot of cool and unique crossings but even tho it’s out of service around 2013 they still replaced them with more modern crossing wich is kinda sad
Best videos on RUclips, Tanks Archie Sir!!!
Wow, thanks!
What a cool life man. I escaped from my stressful day watching your video
I love the videos you share with us. Keep it up!
Archie. The old Magma Arizona Railroad track is just waiting for the mine at Superior to go into operation. Copper Basin Railway will then operate the railroad. You might consider wearing a helmet. You could have been killed in a derailment. LOL. Like the Little Fox and drone shots. Fun to watch.
I thought the mine was just all remediated. Is there really talk of opening it again?
@@bryce2680 After further research it seems that it HAS been put on hold.
@@mikesimmons8762 That's a bummer......I was excited about the idea of trains running there again!
We don't need no stinking helmets 😂
@@patricknoveski6409 Something is going on. There has been some heavy car wheels cutting the asphalt where the Magma Arizona Railroad track crosses paved roads. I know what you mean about helmets. I used to ride motorcycles without one,. . . . .when I was young and immortal. 😁
Fantastic adventure Sir. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. 😎
Glad you enjoyed it
@@archiemorenoHello dear author, please tell me: is the section of the road along which you are traveling inoperative?
That location was amazing but your video with drone was fantastic TY😅
I would say they maintain the rails to service that water pipe that is next to it. Rail car or train is the only way to get those Jersey Barriers there that support the water pipe.
I love your videos - and such an interesting part of the world! Best wishes from the UK!
No habla Español but still love your channel. Thanks Archie!
The captions are in English
Can you put the subtitles in English. closed caption.
Dang! You're right! I'll have to remember that from now on! I'm hearing impaired anyway. CC and Subtitles save the day for me time and time again.
Thanks!
Muy buenas las tomas desde el drone
It's always fun to watch your travels. Can't you hurt yourself if your railcart derails?
Kind regards from Germany, Bad Oldesloe. 👍
loved the ride thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Bravo, endless railway, fantastic it's incredible that this is abandoned, that it's adventure,, great 👏👏👍💖😎
Nice drone videos 😎🤙
Super cool ride, Archie. The landscape is fantastic
Buen video
Love this ride
Saludos. Sigan con los excelentes videos. Hermosa naturaleza, grandes experiencias!
So many old small mines out there too.
I'm guessing the pipe is for water transfer.
Buen día de aquí saludándolos desde Colombia
Wow I love these thanks
I've never seen so many huge cactus plants like that. We do have cactus here in Canada, but they're mainly small - three species of prickly pear and one type of pincushion cactus.
Beautiful Saguaros along the route!
Yes
En Argentina entre Salta y Jujuy hay cactus, que acorde a su crecimiento, han estado en pié desde antes de la conquista española del Imperio Inca y Perú, es admirable su longevidad, pero es una lástima que algunos están en riesgo por inectos que antes eran controlados por otras aves ´ó inectos en un equilibrio de naturaleza, fantástico. !!!, se les llama Cardones, y hay un Parque Nacional de ellos, pero en la zona del Pucará de Tilcara están lamentablemente muriendo. !!!
My dream to ride one day..✨️
Darn shame they blocked 🚫 the track with locked gates and No Trespassing signs. Some private landowner bought up the old railroad right away? You were going along so nice through magnificent country. So disappointed you had to turn around.
Should of cut the cam and turn it back on, let's say, on the better side of that gate. Wink Wink
Yeah but...... No Tresspassing signs are a legal roadblock. There was a second gate shortly after and from Archie's drone you could see one at each end of the trestle bridge. The barbed wire gates were alright but these steel pipe gates with locks meant business. Some people can get real ugly when signs, gates, and fences are ignored. I've been known to get ugly with trespassers/poachers on my land. I don't have fences or gates but I do have signs. "Why Should I Fence Me
In, To Keep You Out. No Tesspassing" That and my favorite...... "Trespassers Will Be Violated. "
Seen a short now im here for the full journey
I live in Europe, I don't know this region and I can't imagine, what the hell are those fellows doing there (10:57)? Is there a lake or something? From this point of view, it doesn't look like it. The landscape is stunning anyway especially to the European eye...😊
La gente hacen tiro al blanco
They where shooting!
So cool!
Love your video's.... Next time take me with you..... :O)
I have never seen a hand-built hybrid rail cart where it can also run on electricity in case gas runs out.
Such fun!
Looks like a wonderful adventure. I'd love to ride shotgun with you!! It's a damn shame that people are such slobs. At :44 into the video where you are walking around amongst hundreds of spent shotgun shells. Shame on them.
22:05 that's my Red Dead Redemption 2 playingfield right there
I like the high speed rail 😅
สนุกนะ
What is the big black pipe by the tracks.
The big plastic pipe delivers drinking water to the Town of Superior East of there. Follow the tracks back the other way about 7 miles southwest and there is a pumping station that takes ground water and pumps it to Superior.
Have an idea for tough crossings. Could you put some smaller wheels (like dolly wheels for instance) under the cart (between the rails) that can be dropped by a pedal for traversing the dirt areas? They would be driven off the same sprocket that the drive wheels are driven from. Theoretically you could drop the wheels when you get to a crossing to continue without having to get out, then pull them back up once you're back on the rails?
What caused that derail?
Since they do not have maintenance, the rails close or expand, deforming their measurement of (1435MM). On this occasion they were closed and the Railcart, being very light in weight, jumped off the rails.
Caro Archie. Quando ci porti a fare un raid verso la Terra del Fuoco? Un saluto 😊
Any thoughts on what that little box was in the middle of the tracks. Also, I'm guessing someone is missing their stolen Outback...
the photo you took of the lock box in the ground between railroad ties...any idea what being use of what??
Archie. What happened at 19:57. It looked like good track? Why did you go on the ground? Looks like Copper Basin Railroad MOW needs to get out there and adjust the gauge to make it safe for guys like you.
Google Plus codes for some of those spots (like the closures) would be useful.
Đường sắt đã bị bỏ hoang rồi còn đưa xe goong ra chạy rất nguy hiểm cho chính mình, có khi gặp chướng ngại vật là toang luôn 😂😅
What’s next for this video, “Railcart Chasing Metrolink”? I will give you a hint: Use this music call “Mountain Chase” from Horton Hears A Who on Metrolink’s line.
Why can't you drive through that area?
¡Vaya gozada, yo quiero uno!😂😂😂
What is the box?
Algum brasileiro assistindo ? Kkkk 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Sir, how much fuel do you need for the railcart? Because the track is very long (i think)😅
Sabes que son esos caños que están al costado de las vías de qué son??
Đường sắt đã bị cấm rồi còn đưa xe goong ra chạy là sao vậy ta, người ta đã cấm rồi thì rất nguy hiểm cho người chạy xe 😂😅
😮😮😮😮😮😅😅😅
What is it with people and cans of spray paint?

I know you speak English. Are you aware a good percentage of your fan base does not understand Spanish? OR-- subtitles would be nice. Enjoy your videos none-the-less...
Hey bbrother,
Ill bet the people in other countries must trip out on how beautiful Americs is.
This mine must have been rich for them to build all of the infrastructure to service the mine.
There are times of year where it would be unbelievably hot out here im sure. Just add Clint Eastwood riding up.😂
Absolutely awesome
No se por que pero es increiblemente relajante
Great adventure and a hidden treasure. Thanks for taking us along!!
A fine adventure. I Thank you !
