Notes from the Field
I've got a six-page "short take" article in the latest issue of Railroad History (no. 229). The subject is some of the remaining semaphore signals on the Santa Fe Railway in New Mexico; it's a follow-up to my much longer 2019 article in the same publication (no. 221).
Most of the aging semaphore signals of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway have come down in recent years, replaced by modern devices. But eleven of the 100-year old sentinels soldier on with no replacement signals positioned adjacently. My article provides the location of all, images of several, along with the appearance of Amtrak's Southwest Chief, which is the only train on the line currently tripping these ancient implements.
Three images by Richard Koenig; all taken April 2023.

Las Vegas | When the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad reached the settlement on July 4, 1879, Las Vegas was the biggest city between San Francisco, California, and Independence, Missouri. The railroad established a station one mile east of the Plaza, creating a separate, rival “New Town,” both of which were named Las Vegas. The demarcation line was the railroad tracks.
