U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) released the following statement today on the announcement that a deal has been reached allowing Apache Railway Company to continue operating in Navajo County, Arizona: I applaud the deal reached this week that will allow the Apache Railway Company to continue its operations in support of important industries in Navajo County. This is a vitally important development in an area of the state under considerable economic stress. For years, the Apache Railway has provided vital infrastructure to the White Mountains forest restoration effort and bolstered the local economy. Thanks to the work by Steve Brophy of Aztec Land and Cattle Company and others, Apache Railway finally closed a deal Monday that will allow the current management to remain in place in an effort to attract future business. Following years of hard work, a collaboration including Snowflake Mayor Tom Poscharsky, Navajo County Supervisor Jason Whiting, Show Low Mayor Daryl Seymore, Navajo County Economic Development Director Paul Watson, the Town Councils of Pinetop, Show Low, and Snowflake, Apache and Navajo County, the Snowflake Community Foundation, and the Arizona Commerce Authority came together to support this critical asset. All those throughout the State of Arizona, but especially impacted citizens in Apache and Navajo County, should be gratified by this great work. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
