Traveling south along the Santa Fe trail, the next major town south of Raton, NM is Las Vegas, NM. Las Vegas was once a thriving railroad town. It boasted a large Harvey House, a large yard, and a multi-stall roundhouse. Here are some photos of Las Vegas. NH Joe

This is the view of the large Harvey House that is located next to the station. This building was in awful shape in 2016. It has since been purchased and totally renovated as a trackside hotel. I will post photos of the renovated building next week.
