Burlington Northern Santa Fe
Freight Train Schedules

The following trains were observed during multiple trips I've taken recently between Fort Worth, TX and Flagstaff, AZ. These are not the actual freight train schedules, but a collection of the trains I saw and the approximate times they were at or near these crew change points. The higher the priority, the closer the observed time should be to the actual schedule. These are not the only trains running on the Transcon, but the ones that seem to operate on a fairly regular basis. These trains do not operate every day and I couldn't be everywhere at all hours of the day. That has left some holes in my data, so you will see that I don't have times for each train at every point. Also remember that Amarillo is in the Central Time Zone, and although Winslow is in the Mountain Time Zone, Arizona does not go to daylight savings time, unless you are on the reservation. Confused yet? Don't feel like you are alone.

Merchandise Trains

The M and H trains handle general freight. These trains are a collection of boxcars, covered hoppers, gondolas, tank cars, etc. Some of these trains exchange cars at Belen and this may delay the train over six hours. This delay is built into the train's schedule. Remember that the information presented here is based on observations, not scheduled departure times.
