Remarks & Notes

With the afternoon's monsoons passed, and pelting a different portion of the plains, the endangered former AT&SF semaphores in the ghost town of Colmor, New Mexico, faithfully guard the Raton Subdivision just as they have for over a century. The galactic core of our home in space, the Milky Way Galaxy, glides across the Southern sky as the darkness of night awaits day, and the scarce blades await the routine passing of Amtrak's Southwest Chief on its journey to Las Angeles.
