Photo ID: 103390 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, April 10, 2010 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 706 Colmor, NM 2617 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Raton (BNSF) BNSF A westbound work train passes by intermediate semaphores near Colmor. Note the blade pointing toward the sky on the left side of the picture. That is a clear signal for this train, and the signal will drop (quite literally) to red as the train passes. After dropping to red, the blade on the left will be parallel to the ground, like the one on the right. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is the first freight to run over these rails in the New Mexican desert in over a year. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The eastbound signal is currently red as a westbound work train approaches. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
