note;  the last train over was the southbound express from Santa Fe 600 passengers.  pretty good for a reverse commute train ?

The southbound Rail Runner gets a lot of state workers who live in Albuquerque.  They head north in the morning and south in the evening, thereby running against the flow of commuters headed to and from Albuquerque.
