I Want My Rail Runner

Espanola and Taos looking into Rail Runner extension

The wild popularity of the Rail Runner's Santa Fe extension has caused other New Mexico cities to want to hop on board. Espanola’s mayor is now pushing for an extension to his city.
Espanola's mayor says his town has always been a railroad town since the Chile Line passed through in the 1800s. [...]

Maestas says extending the line would make sense, not only because it could bring in out-of-town dollars like it has in Santa Fe, but also because of the huge commuter base between Santa Fe and Espanola.

Rail Runner officials agree. They say corridor between the two cities is very congested and they say it would benefit from some kind of rail project.

As a resident of Socorro NM, that already has rails linking it to Belen, I'd like to see this community be next in line for service.

But hey, I'm biased.
