Dave Blaze Rail Photography posted Santa Fe...All The Way! Today's repost features a southbound (timetable west) BNSF stack train heading for Phoenix crossing the famed Hell Canyon Bridge led by a pair of GEs dressed in the sharp H2 scheme. This is about MP 21.6 on modern day BNSF's Phoenix Sub (measured from Ash Fork). The 646 long single track bridge over dry Limestone Canyon was built by Santa Fe predecessor Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix Railway in 1901 and still proudly proclaims the name of BNSF's predecessor to the few travelers that pass by on dusty lonely parallel County Road 71.
