Railroad notes and town news from Las Vegas to Albuquerque
A scattered railroad and community update mentions a book project for general distribution led by J H Rogers, a quiet Santa Fe wedding of Frank Brown and Dolores Sats at Isleta, rail movement of engines Nos 3 and 4 toward Silver City, and coal line expansion from San Antonio to Carthage. It also notes Kingman Miner commentary on George Gooding, and Santa Fe construction on the Raton Des Moines line near Cannisbrook amid coal-field shifts. A forged signature at Our Lady of Sorrows prompts warnings, while a dubious advertising campaign and a missing return of a con artist leave locals wary.
