UP rail hub to be built at Santa Teresa, NM

“+1 !” (or from PA)

(If you are an AREMA member, you will get to see…and will that show ever draw a crowd)

Just to bring you up to date, BNSF tracks come down from Rincon, NM into Deming as the now-moved freight station has been torn down thanks to UP. The station was originally a transfer station betwween the two RR companies tracks as clearly marked as BNSF property when crossing over at the North side of the yard here in Deming. The original station was two story and was on the Rio Grande division of the old AT&SF lines as many of these were built. Deming was stated by the railroads and the oldest school built to educate the children of the RR workers. The track runs through the areas of Hatch and on up to Rincon and carries coal when the mines outside of Raton, NM are operating. Deming is the only place between the two RRs that have been set up this way as freight was moved from one side of the station to the other for loading on either train.
