Lamy, New Mexico, via the Santa Fe Southern Railroad

Lamy is about 18 miles south of Santa Fe. One way to reach Lamy is to answer the "All Aboard" call at the Santa Fe Station for a journey to Lamy. The Santa Fe Southern runs as a working freight train pulling recreational passenger cars, too, between Santa Fe and Lamy.

You travel in a renovated historic passenger car with all the old charm recreated. As did railroads in the early 1900's, your train carries both passengers and freight to and from Santa Fe with connections to the "main line" (the Amtrak) in Lamy. The stopover in Lamy gives passengers a chance to explore the depot, eat a picnic lunch, or dine at the "Legal Tender" restaurant.

When the line was in danger of abandonment in 1992, investors came together to support a working freight train with recreational passenger service.
