Semaphores and the Southwest Chief
After standing trackside in northern New Mexico for almost 100 years, BNSF finally replaced the old Santa Fe semaphores at MP 706 in the fall of 2021.
Looking back to the veterans' better days, here the blades look on as the westbound Southwest Chief roars up the hill out of Springer and into semaphore country.
