AT&SF 2926 Restoration Update! August 22, 2018
In the mid-1990s a group of train enthusiasts formed New Mexico Steam and Locomotive Historical Society for the express purpose of restoring the AT&SF 2926 to full running condition.
Atchison and Topeka and Santa Fe 2926 is a 4-8-4 steam locomotive originally built in 1944 by Baldwin Locomotive Works. This locomotive was part of the last group of steam passenger locomotives built for the Santa Fe railway. The railroad used the locomotive in both fast freight and passenger service, accumulating over one million miles of usage before its last revenue run on December 24, 1953. The locomotive and a caboose were donated to the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1956 in recognition of the city's 250th anniversary, and placed in a city park.
The city displayed the locomotive as a static exhibit in Coronado Park until it was sold to the New Mexico Steam Locomotive and Railroad Historical Society on July 26, 1999. The locomotive was moved to its current location near the intersection of 8th Street and Haines Avenue where it is undergoing restoration to operating condition by the Society. When the restoration is completed, 2926 will be the largest operating 4-8-4 Northern type steam locomotive in the United States.
As of January 2018, NMSL&RHS members had put in 166,000 hours of volunteer labor and spent over $2.8 million on the project.
Assembly of the tender has been completed for some time and for the last couple of years, attention has been focused on the locomotive itself. Extensive inspection and re-welding repairs have been performed on the boiler, 80 driver wheels, cab and numerous mechanical parts. The boiler interior was cleaned and underwent final sand blasting recently.
On August 20, 2018, for the first time in 63 years, the boiler was lit and smoke could be seen coming from the stack. As steam pressure built up, the pipes were tested for leaks. This is a very complicated machine and leaks were found and repaired.
One August 22, 2018, an open house was held to celebrate the first fire in the boiler in decades. The fire was lit and the steam generated, but as luck would have it, another leak was discovered. Despite that, we had a great visit and met some nice people, including Frank Gerstle who provided a lot of information on the restoration.
NM Territorial Suite
Celebrate the New Mexico Centennial with this suite that illustrates with music the immigrations, technologies, and relationships that prepared New Mexico for statehood. More information:
The New Mexico Territorial Suite by Dr. Howard, quotes Civil War bugle calls and songs of the NM Territorial Period, 1848 to 1912, representing Native American, Hispanic, Pioneers, Soldiers, wars, outlaws, boarding schools, trains, telegraph, cowboys, etc. Video length is 9:37. The mp3 is more complete at 11:04.
Listening to the suite helps us contemplate the relationships and processes that led to the unique Constitution of 1912 that recognized the former treaties and protected the cultures, religions, and languages of historical New Mexico.

Rail Yards in Albuquerque and Santa Fe | The Line
September 21, 2018 – Mayor Tim Keller ceremoniously tore up the contract with an out-of-state developer and took back the Albuquerque Rail Yards for the city, with plans to move forward on its revitalization. Should the Duke City look to the City Different and use the Santa Fe Railyard’s approach as its guide? This week’s Line opinion panelists join host Gene Grant to discuss the pros and cons of rehabilitating the rail yard property.

Santa Fe Southern train ride Santa Fe to Lamy, New Mexico 2011
Unfortunately this excursion train went out of business and ceased operations in 2014. I thought this footage was lost, and was very happy when I found a disk that had these missing files on them. This was a enjoyable train ride on some very old trackage from Santa Fe to Lamy, New Mexico a distance of about 18 miles. This closure now leaves the entire state of New Mexico with only a single tourist train (excluding Amtrak). Hopefully the restoration of the Santa Fe 2926 steam locomotive could possibly run these rails again.
New community market slated for ABQ downtown Rail Yards
There are new signs of life for Albuquerque's old Rail Yards in downtown as volunteers are aiming to get a community market going on site.
At The Roundhouse
By Dan Boyd
Journal Capitol Bureau
SANTA FE � Leave it to a reverend to fire up the New Mexico Legislature.
Noted civil rights leader Al Sharpton sounded a call for civil discourse, equality and the need for higher educational standards in a Friday speech to state lawmakers that contained both punch lines and brimstone.
�People don�t make history by playing to what is popular,� said Sharpton, whose speech highlighted African American Day at the Capitol. �They make and change history by standing up for what is right.�
Sharpton�s rollicking speech � which lasted for about 30 minutes � appeared to inject energy into a 60-day legislative session that, by numerous measures, has gotten off to a sluggish start as lawmakers grapple with ongoing budget woes.
Standing before a packed crowd of lawmakers and visitors on the floor of the House of Representatives, Sharpton called low academic expectations the �racism of the 21st Century.�
�We must stop telling these young people they are not expected to achieve,� he said.
Earlier Friday, Sharpton, a talk show host and reverend who�s become a leading national voice on racial equality issues, held a news conference in the Roundhouse.
He told reporters the non-violent protests and demonstrations in Egypt, which culminated in Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stepping down Friday, bore similarities to the American Civil Rights movement.
Sharpton also said it was a �fraudulent argument� that reforming the state�s public retirement system could help the state deal with on ongoing revenue shortfall.
�Restructuring the pensions funds would not deal one dime with the $400 million shortfall New Mexico is facing,� he said.

Chama, New Mexico Train Yard
This week, we have something different again. Not many trains moving in this video, but I thought this was worth sharing. The Chama Yard on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad is one of the most fascinating yards I have ever visited. It appears much as it has over the last 100 or so years. There's even a complete collection of original freight cars and locomotives. Come take a look as we go on a brief tour around the yard. Some bonus clips at the end from the Durango and Silverton are included with one of their operating steam trains, very similar to those that run on the Cumbres and Toltec.

ABOUT THIS FEED:
The historic Harvey House Museum is the former Belen Harvey House of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF), predecessor of today's BNSF Railway.
You're looking at BNSF's Belen Yard, part of their Southern Transcon, the former Santa Fe mainline between Chicago and Los Angeles, and this is where the El Paso Sub from the east becomes the Clovis Sub to the west.
From this camera you'll see mainline freight headed in both directions, as well as the yard switcher.
In regards to the pushers (distributed power units, or DPU's) on westbounds, they are not fueled directly at the fuel pads, rather a fuel truck is driven back to the middle or (more commonly) the end of the train where the DPU's are located.
Actual track orientation here is north (west)-south (east). You'll also see carmen (inspecting trains) going back and forth on ATV's.
There is no Amtrak service here; their Southwest Chief bypasses Belen to the north as it heads to/from Albuquerque.
Even though there is an ATCS layout file available, there is no server coverage, so no data for the layout. No radio streams available.
There’s no schedule for freight trains, but some of our more knowledgeable members will provide real-time information when it’s available. Please refrain from asking.

New Mexicans played a role in the Rough Riders and after the war their reunions were held for decades at the historic La Castenada Hotel in Las Vegas.

St Elmo Historic District (Ghost Town)
St. Elmo is a ghost town in Chaffee County, Colorado, United States. Founded in 1880, St. Elmo lies in the heart of the Sawatch Range, 20 miles (32 km) southwest of Buena Vista and sits at an elevation of 9,961 feet (3,036 m).
Nearly 2,000 people settled in this town when mining for gold and silver started. The mining industry started to decline in the early 1920s, and in 1922 the railroad discontinued service.
The community is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the St. Elmo Historic District. It is one of Colorado's best preserved ghost towns.
St. Elmo was originally named Forest City but was later changed because of the multitude of towns with the same name. The name St. Elmo was chosen by Griffith Evans, one of the founding fathers, who was reading a novel with the same title.
The town was at its peak in the 1890s, when it included a telegraph office, general store, town hall, 5 hotels, saloons, dancing halls, a newspaper office, and a school house. The Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad line ran through St. Elmo. There were 150 patented mine claims within the area. The majority of the people who lived in St. Elmo worked at the Mary Murphy, Teresa C., The Molly or the Pioneer Mines. The Mary Murphy Mine was the largest and most successful mine in the area. The Mary Murphy Mine recovered over $60,000,000 worth of gold while it was in operation. While the other mines eventually shut down, the Mary Murphy Mine continued to operate until the railroad was abandoned in 1922.
Once the mining industry shut down, St. Elmo drastically declined in population. Miners searched elsewhere for gold and silver and the business district in St. Elmo closed down as well. Few people continued to live in the town. Postal service was discontinued in 1952 after the death of St. Elmo's postmaster.
Even though St. Elmo is considered a ghost town it is still inhabited. Tourism brings many people to the St. Elmo area every year. The old mining roads are now used as Jeep and four-wheeler trails. There are also many good places to fish along Chalk Creek, which runs through St. Elmo.
The general store is open during the summer, when tourists can rent four-wheelers or buy items. Many of the buildings are still intact. However, the town hall and a few other buildings burnt down in 2002. Buena Vista Heritage is rebuilding the town hall to its original state.
