  • A hypnotizer 26-mile one-way ride in this video (part 1). by the BLACK MESA & LAKE POWELL RAILROAD. which ceased operation in August 2019. It was a private electrified railroad that operated in northern Arizona, USA within the Navajo Nation, transporting coal 78 miles (126 km) from Peabody Energy's Kayenta Mine near from Kayenta, Arizona, to the Navajo Generation. Powerhouse station in Page, Arizona. It was completely isolated from the national railway network and did not connect with any other railways. The line was built in the early 1970s and was the first railroad electrified at 50,000 volts. On this occasion I was alone, without knowing what I could find, which added more intrigue to this route, but everything went well, except that at some level crossings the ZORRITO RAILCART could not cross it, since the tracks were covered with ground, and it went off the rails, being so light. They were the only inconveniences I had. It was a mesmerizing trip having the welded tracks and concrete sleepers. but a beautiful landscape
    ESPAÑOL:Un hinoptizante recorrido de 26 millas de (ida) en este video (parte 1). por el FERROCARRIL BLACK MESA & LAKE POWELL. que dejo de funcionar en agosto del año 2019. Era un ferrocarril electrificado privado que operaba en el norte de Arizona, EE. UU. dentro de la Nación Navajo, transportando carbón a 78 millas (126 km) desde la mina Kayenta de Peabody Energy cerca de Kayenta, Arizona, hasta la Generación Navajo. Estación Powerhouse en Page, Arizona. Estaba completamente aislado de la red ferroviaria nacional y no conectaba con ningún otro ferrocarril. La línea se construyó a principios de la década de 1970 y fue el primer ferrocarril electrificado a 50.000 voltios. En esta ocasión estuve solo, sin saber lo que me podría encontrar lo que le puso más intriga a este recorrido, pero todo salio bien, solo que en algunos pasos a nivel el ZORRITO RAILCART no podia cruzarlo,ya que las vias se encontraban tapadas con tierra, y se salia de los rieles, al ser tan liviano. eran los únicos inconvenientes que tuve. fue un viaje hipnotizante al tener las vias soldadas y durmientes de concreto. pero un paisaje cenico y hermoso.

    • @emmber19
      @emmber19 22 дня назад +5

      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.

      @archiemoreno  20 дней назад +2

      simply because they would have to be made of steel, and they would go through a lot. Mine are made of Kevlar and if they were conical, a groove would be marked on the wheel as it only has one support point; since it is flat, it supports the entire surface on the rail.
