The Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix Railway was a common carrier railroad that extended the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway south into Phoenix, Arizona, connecting at Ash Fork with the Santa Fe's Atlantic and Pacific Railroad mainline and later becoming an operating subsidiary of the Santa Fe. Known as the Peavine for its many winding curves and bridges, it also reached east from Phoenix to Florence and Winkelman and served mines in the Prescott area through subsidiary lines, before merging into the Santa Fe's California, Arizona and Santa Fe Railway subsidiary on December 28, 1911.
