The Endangered One - a photo on Flickriver

The Endangered One

One of the 'Final Five' of the NMRX (New Mexico Rail Runner Express) Semaphore Signals waits for the end alongside the NMRX's Albuquerque Subdivision near Cerrillos New Mexico. In 2009/2010 the southern ones along this railroad were removed as part of the commuter railroad's CTC modernization project which removed the antiquated ABS signaling system between Griegos Road in Albuquerque and Bernalillo. The five between CP Madrid and Lamy are still hanging on into early 2023, as only Amtrak traverses this section of the railroad... But the guillotine has been over their heads since 2021 when signal bases for their replacements arrived and were installed in 2022. Today, as of the posting of this, only the bureaucratic slog and typical NM laissez faire attitude of the local New Mexican power company keep these signals in operation.
