This short spur was constructed westward from Jornada, NM off of the main AT&SF line to the site of the Elephant Butte Dam construction, around 1910. The resulting lake was at one time the largest man-made reservoir in the world. Portions of the old grade are still visible along State Road #15 between Jornada and Truth or Consequences, NM.
