| Remarks & Notes |
| Catching the late evening sun near Wagon Mound, Amtrak's eastbound Southwest Chief splits the veteran Santa Fe semaphore signals along BNSF's Raton Subdivision. This is the last stretch of mainline railroad in the United States that operates under the authority of semaphore signals. Built in the mid 1900's, the T-2 semaphores have been guiding passenger and freight traffic over northern New Mexico for many decades and today, still serve Amtrak's Southwest Chief in both directions. |
