The Construction of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad over the Raton Mountains, and the Performance of Locomotives on its Steep Grades
The railroad over the Raton Mountains, of standard 4′ 8½″ gauge, is a branch of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, under the names of Pueblo ancl Arkansas Valley, in Colorado; and New Mexico and Southern Pacific, in the Territory of New Mexico. The Raton Mountains, a spur of the Sangre de Christo, or Snowy Range, extend nearly due east and west; while the Snowy Range, a portion of the Rocky Mountain system, extends almost due north and south, parallel to the direction of the road. The Ratons culminate in Raton (or Fisher's) Peak, 9 800 feet above the level of the sea, while the summit of Raton Pass is reached by the grade line at an elevation of 7 720 feet above the same plane.
