rails through Apache Canyon, New Mexico


Postcards of scenes by by Fred Harvey of uncertain age, but probably 1920s, showing the scenery of the 65 mile (105 km) section of the then Santa Fe between Las Vegas, New Mexico (not the well-known one in Nevada) over the Glorieta Pass to Lamy, New Mexico. The colorist of the first postcard may have overdone the tinting a bit, but it looks good.  You can still traverse this today on Amtrak's Southwest Chief service.
