The New Mexico Railrunner (which, by the way is also the name of our local N-Trak club) will consist of Bombardier coaches and F59PHI motive power. Initially, the line is scheduled to run between Belen and Bernalillo. Right smack in between those two towns is Albuquerque, the largest city in New Mexico. According to the Governor's representative, the line will be extended to Santa Fe (Approx. 60 miles north of Albuquerque) in 2006-2007. They plan on laying new track from Bernalillo to Santa Fe since the line from Lamy to Santa Fe is too light to be using BNSF and Santa Fe Southern track. Service is supposed to begin by the end of 2005 and the Bombardier coaches are presently at a siding in Belen.
