This site has had a bar under one name or another since 1881. In its' rush west, the ATSF main line went south of the namesake city. The Lamy station served Santa Fe for many years until a branch line went north to the city. Sadly Amtrak signs promise passenger trains that no longer come. Along the way we see curious children and some horse back riders.
Many people jog or ride bicycles along the right of way.
They and we enjoy many far vistas of rolling hills and a few snow capped mountains. One major crossing is flagged, but otherwise it's slow and go. We pass oil wells, an oil loading facility with many sidings, a feed lot and finally a grain storage facility in Lovington. Here we turn our cars at Avenue D, back to just north of the crossing at mp 104.5, and rest for half an hour. North of here the track is abandoned.
