Sky Railway

The Santa Fe scenic train passes us along the Santa Fe Rail Trail on a sunny spring day hike.

In 2020, Sky Railway was born from the ashes of Santa Fe Southern. Prominent Santa Feans came together to save the historic, 141-year-old railroad. They are Bill Banowsky; owner of Violet Crown Cinemas and a filmmaker; George RR Martin, the novelist, co-creator of Meow Wolf, and savior of the Jean Cocteau Theater. They were joined by several others, including author Douglas Preston and artist Gary Oakley.

The Santa Fe Southern Railway was a short line railroad in New Mexico. In addition to carrying freight on occasion, it now operates as a tourist railroad called Sky Railway that carries passengers between Lamy and Santa Fe, a distance of 18.1 miles.
The Santa Fe Southern began operations in 1992, after the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway ended operations on its Lamy to Santa Fe branch line and a group of local businesspeople purchased the track to continue freight service in the area.

Sky Railway offers a variety of rail adventures sure to satisfy all.

At the southern end of the Moreno Valley lies Black Lake, New Mexico, a quiet natural lake where Paulette and I watched for elk, waterfowl, wild turkeys and black bears. It also became Montana for portions of the classic Lonesome Dove miniseries.

Angel Fire Wild Turkey Flock

Capturing Fall Colors in Angel Fire

I headed north with an old chainsaw for my son and cameras for myself. What followed was a rainy September journey through the Rio Grande Gorge, Taos Canyon and Angel Fire, where autumn aspens and a remarkably calm flock of wild turkeys turned an ordinary errand into a very special day.
