So does it rehook with Transcon out of Albuquerque?

Cool, I'll definatley make it out there sometime in 09!

I've never personally traveled on those... but as far as time wise, BNSF is much more forgiving time wise than UP is...so if you are on an Amtrak train using the UP line, you're really screwed...I was only 5 mins late arriving into Flagstaff and actually 35 mins EARLY coming back to Chicago.... LOVE IT!

How would you compare the Southwest Chief trip to Empire Builder or California Zephyr? (if you've been on those, that is)

It was the most awesome Amtrak trip I've taken yet!! The scenery is outta this world! I can't wait to do it again next spring or summer!!

how was the trip?

Thanks for the vid!! I am traveling the Southwest Chief sometime in August and these vids get me so excited for travel!!!
No. Amtrak heads north over the old Santa Fe mainline.to La junta, Colorado then east to Kansas city. The Transcon goes east from Dailies to Belen NM then to Amarillo, TX.

Great video, I bet it's a nice spot to hang out all day and watch trains too!

Great train watching spot. While waiting for the Southwest Chief I saw 4 freights pass thru. This in an hours time.

Yes. This is the cutoff from the BNSF Trancon to the old Sante Fe mainline to Albuquerque and over Raton Pass. The route follows the Old Sante Fe trail as does I 25 to Colorado.
