This video was shot in April and May of 2014 and covers 200 miles of the Seligman Sub of the BNSF mainline. We travel eastward from Needles, CA, to Williams Junction, AZ.

A very good three dimensional map is included near the beginning of the video so that the viewer gets a clear picture of the route he will travel and the topography that will be encountered along the way. The low point on the Seligman is 456’ above sea level at the east end of Topock, just east of the Colorado River which is the boundary between California and Arizona. The right of way reaches to 7300’ above sea level just west of Flagstaff but our tour stops short of that in Part 1.

We are treated to some triple track action at Needles with a train on each track.

The wide screen format, excellent image quality, beautiful desert scenery, and good train action make this a very good video.
