Nostalgia & History > Santa Fe MainlineDate: 08/08/19 20:14 Santa Fe Mainline Author: SantaFeRuss In the 1960's and 1970' approximately how many trains did the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe run across the Transcon between Flagstaff, AZ and Belen, NM per 24 hour period? And also, what was the average length the trains were far as car count was concerned? Any super long freights? What was the most common power? I know its a bunch of questions but it would be so helpful. Thanks for any answers.

for 1962 https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/07bd81e6-3161-4ed3-bad0-ad2b35615e62 They're upside down for some reason, but if you download a scan you can fix that. 10.4 million net tons between Gallup and Winslow, total both ways -- less than 30000 tons per day. https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?11,4343626,4344243#msg-4344243 Edited 2 time(s).

32.0 million Gallup to Winslow, 24.5 eastward. 793282 cars, total of both directions. In 1978, 34.8 million gross tons AZ-NM state line to Winslow, 28.08 million eastward. 428117 cars westward, 422046 eastward. |
