Black Mesa & Lake Powell Railroad
Train Company
The Black Mesa and Lake Powell Railroad (reporting mark BLKM) is an electrified private railroad operating in Northern Arizona, USA within the Navajo Nation which transports coal 80 miles from the Peabody Energy Kayenta Mine near Kayenta, Arizona to the Navajo Generating Station power plant at Page, Arizona. It is completely isolated from the national rail network and does not interchange with any other railroads. As a result, like metros, light rails, and trams, this is not controlled by the Federal Railroad Administration.
The line was constructed in the early 1970s and was the first railroad to be electrified at 50,000 volts. It is owned by the Salt River Project and the co-owners of the Navajo Generating Station.
