Did you know the Fred Harvey Company decided to market the Indian Detours to groups? The maximum number for a regular group Detour was 25. That would fill one of the large buses. The reservations department was stunned when they started getting inquiries from groups as large as 500. There wasn’t a hotel in New Mexico that could accommodate that many guests so the company arranged for them to stay in Pullman railroad cars parked on the sidings at Lamy, New Mexico. They were ferried around in a fleet of buses.

KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE (KAFB) RAILS

Rail spurs from the main ATSF line (near the old maintenance shops) that went eastward to serve the Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, NM.  Some rail still intact but unused for decades.
