That's the branch to the ATSF's namesake town, Santa Fe, NM. The name of of the junction is Lamy (no second "a").
The line operated from 1992 to 2014 as the Santa Fe Southern Railway, after being sold off by the ATSF.
Article from the Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper about the purchase: Local trio buy Santa Fe Southern Railroad.
I wonder if they're hiring .... I could be interested.
