Black Mesa & Lake Powell

描述
The Black Mesa and Lake Powell Railroad (reporting mark BLKM) was an electrified private railroad operating in Northern Arizona, USA within the Navajo Nation which transported coal 78 miles (126 km) from the Peabody Energy Kayenta Mine near Kayenta, Arizona to the Navajo Generating Station power plant at Page, Arizona. It was completely isolated from the national rail network and did not connect to any other railroad.The line was electrified by means of 50,000 V, 60 Hz, overhead catenary with electricity supplied by the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority.

During normal operations, the railroad operated three round trips per day. Between 1973 and 1976, six E60CFs locomotives were purchased new. The railroad's final delivery to the Navajo Generating Station was August 26, 2019. The power plant was shut down in December 2019 due to competition from cheaper energy sources. The electrical components of the railway were dismantled between winter 2019 and fall 2020, but the tracks have remained in place to be evaluated for future use.

So long, Black Mesa and Lake Powell :(

Some years ago my family took a trip up to Monument Valley, on the way back down we passed under the coal conveyor belt for the BLKM and wondered what it was, didn't find out until much more recently that it was part of such an interesting closed loop isolated railroad.
