Is there anyone out there Interested in Helping Me with a Project of
Preservation of the old Right-of-Way of the Santa Fe,Prescott & Eastern
Railroad, and the Construction, Operation, and Maintence of a New
Tourist Railroad to be called the Santa Fe Pacific,Prescott & Eastern
Railroad.The Location of this Right-of-Way extends from Mayer,AZ. to
Humbolt/Dewey,AZ. over the old Right-of-Way of the SF,P&E Rwy., which
was a Subsidiary of the AT&SF RR.It actually extended from Entro(Point
of Rocks) 5 miles East of Prescott,AZ. South through Prescott Valley to
Dewey(Cherry Creek) to Humbolt(there was a Refinery there for Ore from
the Mayer area),and then South again to Mayer, Cordes, Middleton, and
up to Crown King,AZ…The line from Mayer South to Crown King was called
the Bradshaw Mountain Railroad.The Bradshaw Mountain Railroad also
went from Poland Junction(5 miles North of Mayer) to Poland,AZ…I wi***o
Construct the Part from Mayer to Humbolt/Dewey,AZ., and later the section
from Mayer south to Cleator, and A Terminus at Middleton.I also am planning
on a “Railroad Park” 5 miles North of Mayer along AZ. Highway 69 on BLM
Land,Application made on 5/20/05.Because of a Water Conservation
Study by BLM, and the Army Corps. of Engineers for the Agua Fria Watershed,
My Application is being Held-Up Until 2007.This includes the Big Bug Creek
as it’s Tributary.I am Currently Working with the Mayer Water Company for
Future Use of Water on that Land,and the Director of the Mayer Water Co.,
she is a Fund Raiser(Grant Writer), to help me Raise Funds for the Resturation
and Preservation of this Historic Railroad Right-of-Way and Route, and
the Rebuilding of Buildings and Infastructure of the Santa Fe Pacific,Prescott
& Eastern (Tourist) Railroad.The Railroad Park would have a Railroad/Mining
Museum along with an Old-Time Western Town( named Arizona City) as
existed in that area i
GOOD LUCK…[8D]
This does sound a little interesting. I hope you have some lawyers helping with your current issues.
If your railroad operates as a non-profit as part of the museum you might be able to obtain additional funding by providing tax receipts.
