ICC Abandonment Filings

ATCHISON, TOPEKA & SANTA FE RAILWAY
Docket Number: 13788	Date: 6/11/1942	Section: 1
Application of Rocky Mountain & Santa Fe Railway for abandonment of 39.58 miles of railroad from a point near station of Koehler Junction to a point near Station of Ute Park, all in Colfax County, New Mexico.
Length: 39.58 miles	Citation: 254 ICC 804

This line served local coal mines. We drove the parallel segment of US 64 in May 2009, and the grade of this rail line could be seen west of Colfax. The right-of-way was about a mile west of the highway, and some of the piles at removed trestles could still be seen.
