Here are some more images, I took yesterday. I don't know the area that well but I would guess that Mountainair looks to be the summit of the Abo canyon route. How close am I Mike Fifer?

Anyway this shot is of the train East of Mountainair and I was clocking him at 70mph at this point. MY photographer needs to learn how to fold the mirror in and out of the way. Bless her little heart, she likes trains too, up to a point.

I went ahead of him to catch a shot of him crossing the Highway to Corona. He had slowed but by the time he got to the crossing he was doing a good 65-70mph again. Run 8? ? ?

I never cared much for the pumpkins, but I may just have to add a couple to my SP units. I certainly will have to take this route between El Paso and Albuquerque again, even tho it added two hours to the trip. Two hours of trains and fun! ! !

Thanks for looking.

Yep I would say bottom of Abo. The second shot is just after leaving Belen going east after the climb onto the mesa towards Abo.
