Railcar services across the Southwest and beyond
The Apache Railway Company is based in northeast Arizona, near Snowflake, with a direct Class I interchange to BNSF in Holbrook. That central location makes Apache the closest full-service short line for railcar storage, repair, and cleaning between California and Texas.
From petroleum and chemical shippers to agriculture and manufacturing, fleets across the Southwest depend on Apache for certified railcar services that keep cars compliant and in motion.
Where we operate
Apache serves industries across Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, and the greater Southwest, with cars regularly moving inbound from California, Texas and the greater Midwest.
- Snowflake, AZ – Our hub for railcar storage, repair, cleaning, and logistics coordination.
- Holbrook, AZ – Direct interchange with the BNSF Transcon mainline, connecting to national markets.
- 200-mile mobile repair radius – Certified mobile crews provide field service across northeastern Arizona and into bordering states.
Because the nearest comparable facilities are hundreds of miles away in California or Texas, Apache offers shippers in the Four Corners and Southwest a practical, cost-saving alternative.

Why location matters
For fleets based in the Southwest, Apache eliminates the need to reposition cars hundreds of miles to California or Texas.
- Storage – Large-scale capacity in Arizona’s dry climate reduces corrosion and weather delays.
- Repairs & Cleaning – Certified facilities handle tank cars, HazMat, and general freight cars.
- Logistics – Direct interchange with BNSF makes Apache a practical bridge between regional industries and national markets.
That combination saves shippers on empty miles, downtime, and freight costs while keeping cars compliant.
