Description
The last train to leave Cimarron, New Mexico The story of the last train to leave Cimarron endevors to answer two questions: Why did the railroad industry pull out of Cimarron, New Mexico and when did the last train leave?
To answer these questions the author summarizes the history of the Cimarron country, the various people who worked to develop its lands, natural resources and rail service.
How did the tiny community of Ute Park develop and why did it not grow into the vacation and recreational community the railroad executives envisioned.
Was a northern railroad through New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California , going to the Pacific possible and was it needed?
In many places history is driven by economics, so to understand the railroad history of Cimarron we also looked at the development of the automobile, truck transportation, air travel, bus transportation, one speed long hall railroads, development of the electric diesel locomotive and the decline of steam driven trains.
All of these things are part of the complete Cimarron rail road saga.
Then, there is the story of the last train.
