One trip features three railroads

The Santa Fe New Mexican

Train lovers later this month will get a chance to make an Albuquerque-Lamy-Santa Fe journey on three different railroads: Amtrak, Santa Fe Southern Railway and New Mexico Rail Runner Express.

Passengers on May 23 can begin what is being billed as the "Golden Triangle" trip from either Albuquerque or Santa Fe by buying a ticket package from the Santa Fe Southern Railway that is good for all three legs of the trip.

A news release said the package — which costs $50 for adults, $40 for seniors and children under 13 — includes a commemorative four-pocket ticket holder that will hold all three tickets as well as a photo of all three locomotives.

Santa Fe Southern president Carol Raymond said the idea was suggested by train riders. "I think people are blogging about it," Raymond said. "Never underestimate the passion of trainiacs."

Marvin Pendergrass of the Amtrak office in Albuquerque said, "Since National Train Day is in May, Memorial Day weekend is a good time for train fans to celebrate the joy of riding trains."
