Farewell to the Santa Fe RR in New Mexico
I made a trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico for a last blast with my favorite RR, the Atchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe RR. With less than a week left before officially becoming the BNSF, I caught action in Glorietta Pass as a warbonnet-led 198 train detoured on the Raton sub while the slowly setting sun turned the Sangre de Cristo Mountains the blood-red color they were named after. The next day was spent at Abo Canyon on the New Mexico sub, working both ends of this famous canyon. Side trips included a ride on the Santa Fe Southern to Lamy and a ride on the Cumbres & Toltec west end from Chama, N.M. with doubleheaded steam.
