The service only operates 3 days per week. That’s 6 trains per week, total. 3 in each direction.

Sounds like something from the wild West.

It kind of is the wild west. In some cases, I think the track infrastructure is still exactly the same as it was from the old West days. There are some really breathtaking railroad bridges to go over, but they’re also limited to 15 mph because they’re so old. West Texas still has many miles of completely un-signaled “dark territory”.
This line traverses the Gadsden Purchase, a big chunk of Arizona that the US had to buy from Mexico in order to build this railroad. Back in 1854.
