Extreme BNSF Trains in Northern Arizona - Part 1

Presented in 4K - Located on the Southern Transcon, the BNSF Seligman Subdivision is one of the best places for not just plentiful train action, but scenery as well! Dozens of BNSF trains pass through this line on a daily basis, both heading towards Los Angeles, Chicago, and all points in between.
In this video, you'll see various BNSF trains along the Crookton Cutoff portion of the Seligman Sub. This section from Williams to Crookton was built in the 1950's to provide a more direct and less gradient route, as opposed to the original right of way. This section of rail line is one of my favorites, mainly because of the wide open landscapes and the steep rock cuts constructed. I explored mainly in the Perrin/Doublea areas of the cutoff route. I also explored over by the Crookton area, where the original and new alignments meet up, in the Crookton Canyon area. This section is part of the original Transcon route, and it's a vast difference compared to the "newer" alignment. Regardless, great train watching and scenery, regardless where you are on the line!

BNSF took over 4 months to setup my start date. Found a better paying carrier. Would have been cool working for the railroad. Good luck to everyone and be safe.

Hey my friend, you got some great videos there, but it would be better if you would put what direction they are heading north south east or west for rail fanner like me I like to know what direction they’re going. But keep up the good work my

For the most part, check the shadows of trees, brush, fence posts, etc. You should be able to deduce directions from large and lengthy shadows.

What camera are you using ?

Not sure what is "extreme" about the trains in this video. Are they "extremely long," "extremely frequent," "fast," "slow," or. .......
