Amtrak to keep NM route (maybe not permanently)
Author: Cumbresfan

Service has a reprieve but not a permanent one as of yet (excerpt) --

New Mexico communities served by the Southwest Chief are no longer in immediate danger of losing train service, even though plans for maintaining the tracks remain uncertain, an Amtrak spokesman said Monday.

“There are no immediate plans that would result in a cutoff of service to the existing stops,” said Marc Magliari, an Amtrak spokesman in Chicago.

“There is not yet a plan that is solid for upkeep of the tracks from Colorado into New Mexico down to Albuquerque,” Magliari said. “We are working on it. We are making progress.”
