The Arizona Eastern Railway (AZER) is composed of two rail lines
operating over 200 track miles in southeast Arizona and southwest
New Mexico that are connected by 52 miles of trackage rights over
the Union Pacific Railroad.
Commodities transported include copper, chemicals and
agricultural and forest products.
The AZER was acquired by Genesee & Wyoming in 2011 but
has roots older than G&W itself. AZER was originally chartered
in 1895 as the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern, with 133
route-miles between Bowie and Miami, Arizona. Today, AZER also
includes a 70-mile line between Clifton, Arizona, and Lordsburg,
New Mexico, that connects to the original Bowie line via trackage
rights.
