| Great site! I and became a fan of the EPSW while
living in Tucson, 1970-1972. I've managed to cover a lot of the former
property from Tucson to Columbus and on the affiliated EP&NE from
El Paso north to Tucumcari. Would love to get back down that way and
prowl around some more. s/Mark Morgan former historian, Steamtown NHS |

| Excellent map! What software did you use? I work on the UP out of Tucson. It's a shame the Southline is gone, with power dying on the grades, and the shear number of trains, this would be a vital link in today's rail system were it still in place. Thanks for this site. | |||

| I have been on the roads several times while driving between Bisbee and Albuquerque. Very interesting facets of the old railroad that I didn't know. I have stopped at the marker in Rodeo telling the story of the SP passenger trains | |||

| Great site! This is what I have been looking For. My Grand Father worked for the EP&SW RR. I don't know when he started but he quit in 1911 because of cenders in his eye's, he was an Engneer and lived in or around Tucumcari in a sodie on 160a. My dad was then 6y old. Thanks for all the info! Roland Young, Clovis,CA. |

Wow I always knew you were great, and one of my favorite nephews. I think there is a lot of info on Indian land issues,and what is happening up here to the owners. I can hardly wait to get started. Your site looks so good, just what I want to do. Thank you. | |||

| Hello, Thanks for your very informative site! I was wondering if you might know how I might discover more information on the first trip of the railroad into mexico... I am told that my Grandfather Charles William Gates was the engineer.. Is there any way to find out for sure? Anything you can tell me will be grately appreciated... I thank you in advance, and hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience.... Sincerely, Terry Gates |

| Mr. Sumner, Thank you for a fine historical site of the 'Southline'. I have been a recent traveler of the route between Douglas and El Paso and your fine website has answered many questions about the old railbed visible along many sections of Hwy. 9. I will never look at this area the same again, for you have made me an informed observer. | |||

| I see a few people would like more inf on the
EP/SW railroad? I would to. I was along Rt.9 this year and to the UV Elpaso.TX. and to there museum. They have about 40 boxes of info on that line. I hope some one can go through it and put it on line. Roland Young, Clovis,Ca. |

| Fine work. I remember seeing the RR pulling up the tracks west of Animas in the early 60's. I used to drive from Rodeo to Columbus about once a month on business. The road was dirt then. Also remember waiting at the crossing in Columbus for the train to pull out of the station so I could get across the track. Thank you. | |||

| MY TWO SONS AND I HAVE BEEN EXPLORING THE AREA BETWEEN EL PASO AND COLUMBUS SINCE THE EARLY 80'S. WE DO THIS AS A RECREATIONAL PASTIME AND PARTLY BECAUSE I AM A HISTORY BUFF. OFTEN I HAVE WONDERED IF I WAS ALONE IN MY OBSESSION WITH THIS AREA. IT IS FULL OF HISTORY AND THE DESERT IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A WEB SITE THAT DEALS WITH AREAS AND SITES THAT WE HAVE BEEN VISITING FOR YEARS. IT'S A TERRIFIC WEBSITE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I REALLY ENJOYED THE VISIT.

| What a really "slamming" web site!! Absolutely one of the BEST railway sites I have seen. As a native of southern Arizona (now working for an Eastern Class I railroad) I really appreciate info about the "ghost" railroads of the southwest. The EP&SW is and has been one of my favorites for a long time. You have done a really remarkable and commendable job in creating and maintaining such an excellent source of info. I had recently seen article in Model Railroader mag on the bridges of the "Southline". Thanks ever so much for your efforts! Your work has greatly helped me in the creation of the EP&SW in minature. | |||

| I normally don’t praise consumer-oriented
products on bulletin boards but I gotta tell you that I bought this great Horror compilation called Boogeymen that was more like Horror 101. While I would like to consider myself a connoisseur of the Horror Genre I found out more about the 17 films featured on this disc than viewing most of these movies several times each. Boogeymen included – Production info, trailers, live commentary (by Robert Englund – Freddy Krueger himself), bio and history. A great DVD especially if you want to go beyond just the entertainment value. Some of the movies featured on the DVD include Hellraiser, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Wishmaster, Phantasm, Phantasm, The Puppetmaster, Friday the 13th and Halloween. I would say a must have for the collector. |
|||
| 46 | Tue Oct 30 2001 15:54 | George | |
| Hey, I agree with you about the Boogeymen DVD. I highly recommend everyone who is in to scarey or horror movies go out and get it. I have watched it 100+times in 3 days already. The commentary by Robert Englund makes the DVD worth while. Don't pass this one up! | |||
| 47 | Tue Oct 30 2001 15:55 | Tom | |
| Hey man, I went out and got the Boogeymen DVD and its the scariest movie I have seen in a long time. It has all the scariest scenes of all my favorite movies on one DVD. The best part is Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) does commentary throughout the DVD if you choose that option. I highly recommend you all go get it now before it sells out. Go get it now and be the hit of Halloween. | |||
| 48 | Wed Oct 31 2001 11:23 | Kyle | |
| Has anyone else heard anything positive on this Boogeymend DVD? I have heard it has all the best scenes from all the scariest movies ever made. It has Freddy, Jason, Leprechaun, Pinhead, Leatherface, and many more characters in it. I want to get it but want more info from people who have seen it or heard about it. I heard the trivia game is awesome as well. I think I will just go get it and stop being cheap. It sounds pretty awesome. | |||

| I really enjoyed your site. I lived in Deming for
a time and always wondered about the abandoned railroad at Columbus. I
recently found a book,"New Mexico's Railroads: A Historical Survey" by
David F. Myrick (UNM Press)that has several pages on the EP&SW
including depot photos and one train picture. I'd like to see more
period photos of steam and diesel powered trains at various points
along the line. Jim Fish Albuquerque |

When Phelps Dodge shut down the smelter I had to move on just like so many others along the route of this railroad. Great piece of work. Thanks. | |||

I know that it was constructed from about 1946-1950, with its inauguration on 21AUG1950, but very little otherwise. If anyone has additional info, please let me know. Many thanks, John Eyberg | |||

Rather sad as they look on the town and their home very fondly. Interesting project and interesting history.

| I really enjoyed your site. So much so actually that my wife and I drove from northeast Kansas to explore the Southline. Thank you for all the info you provided. I always enjoy learning about our lost history. As a note, the old depot museum at Columbus was a nice stop to rest and chat with old-timers between El Paso and Douglas. Thanks for the site. (beware of the backroads between Douglas and Animas) | |||

| I'm writing an article regarding the history of
the EP&SW No.1. I'd deeply appreciate any info, photos, research
leads, etc., you might have for me. I'm in Milwaukee, WI (the original
home of the "charmed" 4-4-0). Thanks very much! |

| I was born in El Paso, TX in 1959. I now live in Tucson, Az. My grandfather Henrie Evan Birch was a conductor and brakeman on the southern line. He lived in Douglas, AZ. My father was born in Douglas. My mother, born in El Paso, met my father while visiting a cousin of hers who live in Douglas. My family has a strong El Paso, Douglas, South Line connection with numerous relatives living along the line in it's short lifetime. My great grandmothers first husband was killed in the raid on Columbus. I have recently become interested in family history and thank you for your website. Good luck and best regards. | |||

| Hachita was the southern most end of the Arizona and New Mexico Railroad and thier connection to the EP&SWRR. The A&NMRR crossed Southern Paacific RR's line in Lordsburg, with Clifton, Arizona the northern railhead. Clifton was also home to the Clifton Northern Railroad, the Shannon Railroad,and the Coronado Railroad. | |||

| Sir, I agree with many others in the questbook, very nice site. I am interested in the El Paso and Southwest railroad station in Tucson, AZ. For example a person could board a train in Tucson in say 1920 at that station ride east paralleling the Southern Pacific track until Benson, AZ then travel south/southeast to El Paso, TX., is that true? I believe the station openned in 1913, when did it close? |

| Spent an evening in Hachita, and hiked the Continental Divide Trail section in the area. I have pictures of Hachita, Old Hachita, and the area, if anyone wants them (JPG). Your Hachita page is the most detailed I've seen. | |||

| Bless you for what you're doing! I had no idea of your existance until a colleague forwarded your site. The EP&SW and NWP truly are my favorite parts of the former SP "Golden Empire." And, oh, how I'd love another ride on the Tucumcari-French or Lordsburg-Clifton mixeds! | |||
