New Mexico RailRunner: FULL RIDE from Albuquerque to Santa Fe

[Filmed on 2013-06-13. Edited with Adobe Premiere Elements 11.] Total File Size: 3.83GB. Time to Edit: 4-5 hours. Time to upload: 80 minutes. Note that I do want to apologize for my improper use of "KPH" instead of km/h. At the time the video was made, I was not as familiar with the SI/metric system as I am now. Here it is, the very first full video ride on the New Mexico RailRunner from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, NM. The ride from ABQ to SF takes about 90 minutes; going back, it is only ~70 minutes. The top speed reached is 127 km/h (79mph). The ride starts in the Downtown Albuquerque station at 07:20. The ride ends at the Santa Fe Depot at 09:04. Full adult fare is $9 for a day-pass if you buy online; $1 more if you buy on the train. Going northbound, the train goes "backwards." That means that the locomotive pushes instead of pulls the train. This gives you an opportunity to get a great view ahead, just like what the train operator sees. In this video, because I was sitting near the train engineer, you get to hear radio chatter with railroad lingo. You also get to see railroad signs. The yellow signs indicate the safe speed to travel at. White signs are for information or distance. -- If you want to stay up to date with new videos and projects I'm working on, please follow me on Twitter (@MrArtiePenguin). Thanks!
