I've only seen it from the side of I-25, but did think it was an interesting place to watch trains. I would like to go back there with a little more time to spend. Hopefully I can do so in the near future.
The only thing is they don't run many trains there these days. Other than Amtrak running twice trains are rare. Occasionally they run a baretable and sometimes on Tuesday afternoon they run a eastbound Z train. Chances are all you will see is Amtrak.
Good to see plenty of other railfans chiming in; I'm not much of a steam fan, I'm more for the 50's - 80's. The only exception is the old ACL steamers, impressive machines they are.
I love trains. i had a nice setup quit a few years ago back when i had room. i had an ho & n scale. it was alot of fun. now i just watch any train show i can find on tv mostly. i get a channel it's called RFD and they have alot about trains. also discovery channel does to. i go down to the local train yard and watch the trains pull in and out of the station.
I'm not a hobbyist but wanted to call your attention to a lovely movie we saw a couple years ago, called "The Station Agent" about a person who is a big fan of trains; it really is a wonderful film, worth renting (or buying, or downloading, whatever!)
Cumbres and Toltec is on the to do list next time we are in New Mexico. This summer we will ride some trains here in New England.
As a child and teen "the Carolyn Road" ate my childhood. I didn't have time for much but my stepfather's obsession. I still wonder who bought it and if it is still running.
I'm a third generation rail roader as I was a Track Laborer for the Union Railroad back in 1980 through 82. It was only three years but they were probably the best years of my early life. I love all things rail road... Steam era as well as the modern era.
I'm an active member of the F.T.R.A................does that count?
