The Details
The construction of Phase II of the New Mexico Rail Runner
Express from Bernalillo to Santa Fe is underway and is
expected to be complete by December 2008.
The Extended Route
The train will run on existing BNSF tracks located
alongside I-25 from Bernalillo to La Bajada. Just
south of La Bajada new track is being built east of
I-25 near Waldo, to north of the La Bajada Rest Area.
From there it will go through a "tunnel" underneath I-25
to the median between northbound and southbound traffic.
The train will travel in the median, past Richards
Avenue then cross under the southbound lanes of I-25
before St. Francis Drive. From there it will tie
into the Santa Fe Southern Railroad.
