Transportation Company - Apache - Railroad



Company History: The Apache Railway was built in 1917 from a connection with the Santa Fe’s transcon mainline in Holbrook, Arizona to the forests to the south. Before 1984, the line ran about 80 miles south of Holbrook to McNary. The line was built to haul timber from the McNary area to an on line sawmill and a large paper mill in Snowflake (about 38 miles from Holbrook.) The APA was best known for it’s all-Alco diesel fleet. By 1984, the timber within reach of the railroad had been cut and the line south of Snowflake was abandoned. The paper mill closed in 2012 and the future looked a little grim for this line. It has since been sold twice but saved from abandonment. Much of the current traffic consists of animal feed.
