Olaf,
Hope I don’t get you in trouble for adding to the NNG thread. I just drove thru Alamogordo. From what I see on an abandoned rail website, I’m guessing the Cloudcroft branch starts in La Luz. I assume it tied into the SP (now UP) at someplace West of La Luz. If I wanted to see traces of the roadbed in La Luz what street is best to start at? I saw Alamo St., which looks to head in that direction. I also see the lower elevation access East of La Luz. Anything East of Alamogordo proper is basically cliffs. I was not able to find a more detailed track map. I was in cloudcroft last Saturday but the people that drove us there were not that much into finding the curved trestle. I guess there is such a thing as non rail fans. I’ll go again when I have more time.
Thanks.
Craig
