I was riding the NM Rail Runner Express and found out the train is under speed restrictions for certain parts of the track. I saw there was new ballast,road bed and tie installation just finished. This part of the track along the SWC/NMRX JOINT Line used to be really rocky ride.....it is now...
Well I have a question why is there not a Southwest Chief thread since the title of this thread is SWC RE Route and we all know now the Chief will continue to rumble over Raton Pass for years to come...
@greatcats As Far as I know I was reading there was a BNSF train that went over Trinidad. Plus BNSF crews are working to upgrade rail, ballast and ties between raton and rowe I heard.
