New Mexico rail service adds Web page
Provides latest plans on extension.
The New Mexico Rail Runner Express has added a new page to its Website to provide riders with the most up-to-date information on the rail’s phase two construction plans for a line to Santa Fe.
The page, which specifically focuses on construction updates and lane closures, can be accessed by visiting www.nmrailrunner.com. From there, Web users can look for the “Construction” link under the “News & Updates” button.
In addition to seeing the latest construction schedule, passengers can also view a map of the route, find out where the new stations will be located and comment on the draft schedule. These features can be found on the “Project Plans” link on the left side menu bar.
