Title About

Rail Runner Route to Santa Fe

Route to Santa Fe

Phase II track uses three different portions of track.  The first extends from Bernalillo to a point a couple of miles east of I-25 at the base of La Bajada Hill.  Traveling north, the route includes newly constructed rail up La Bajada Hill in the vicinity of Waldo Canyon.  The new track will enter the I-25 median near the rest area at the top of La Bajada Hill and continue north to near St. Francis Road.  From this point the route uses the Santa Fe Southern alignment until its northern terminus at the Santa Fe Railyards.  While existing track and alignment will be used for portions of the corridor, some will be replaced or refurbished.
