Desert regions of the vast, mostly uninhabited American West are located principally in California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. Running today's double-stack, merchandise, coal and intermodal trains through these areas demands powerful locomotives and tough railroaders. It's an exciting time for railroading, especially in these harsh conditions. Follow along as we view the major railroads, and some shortlines, that battle the desert, and have brought life into this parched land.
