Atchison Plans New Mile-Long Tunnel in New Mexico
The Atchison will build a nearly one mile tunnel on its main line in New Mexico and through Raton Hill 144 feet below the present tunnel at a cost of 1 000 000 dollars. A double track will run Trinidad to Raton and trains may run electrically through the new tunnel. The boring will take two years and is expected to save fuel and prevent freight trains from splitting over Raton Hill. A through freight cut off with a water level is planned south of the current line, including a steel and stone bridge over the Canadian river.
