There were hobos killed in a wreck near Mears Junction in 1935. This wreck also killed brakeman Ed Boots.
One of the hobos was from Farmington, New Mexico, so chances are he rode out on that line.
Another story involves football players. The Farmington Scorpions had a championship team until an opposing coach from Durango discovered that three of the best players had graduated from high schools in other parts of the country.
How do trains fit into this? The townspeople were so upset that the three players were shown the Farmington City Limits from a side-door Pullman.
