Stacker Rolls Along Next To New Second Track
Author: walstib

An eastbound stack train rolls into Fort Sumner, New Mexico this morning as the new second-track project at the Pecos River stands in the foreground.

Abo Canyon is west of here, west of Vaughn.

Nice view! Great to see more investment in railroad infrastructure. Unfortunately, these improvements also serve to make the Raton line less and less needed... === === = === JLH

Only thing Raton is needed for these days is Amtrak.

Abo Canyon double tracking has been complete for several years. Vaughn was finished last summer and this is the last single track project in New Mexico.

Is there a target date to put the new main track into service?

I don't know if there is an official date. I was talking to one of the construction guys yesterday and he said the new track is live now, and he expects they will begin using it for sometime in August.

The last couple of days they've been out there with a couple of track machines, and on Wednesday afternoon I caught a ballast train dumping rock at selected spots.
