Got this shot near Wagon Mound from the passenger seat of our car doing 75 along the Interstate. Date: 11/05/19 06:29 Re: Southwest Chief at Robinson, NM. Author: highgreengraphics If you look in the weeds there at the point of impact, there are still bits of metal, ceramic and safety glass in the dirt. That accident had long-term implications, as it spawned the rule to stand opposite the side of the switchstand that was taught to me when I railroaded, likely still is today. === === = === JLH

I know the train can pick up additional patronage - if Amtrak allows for it, and would market it accordingly. between Kansas City and Chicago. Does ridership between ABQ and LA ever warrant an additional coach (or sleeper) during a particular season? Surprised there's not some peak/seasonal demand to/from Flagstaff on account of Sedona or Grand Canyon.

The video shows the adjacent road (I-25 frontage road) and semaphores in the distance to the south (west by timetable). As the train moves from left to right it means it's westbound #3.
