The semaphores were on a portion of the
railroad known as the Raton Pass Route.
The Southwest Chief climbed Raton Pass in Colorado in 2000. |

Some of the best scenery on the old
Santa Fe railroad is on Raton Pass.
In 2000, Amtrak diesel locomotives were painted with a bright red-white-and-blue stripe. |

Raton Pass marks the state line between Colorado and New Mexico. The Southwest Chief rolled past a set of semaphores in New Mexico in 2000. |
