- I left Vaughn and headed east for Clovis. The GPS said it was 116 miles and all I could see was grassland. I saw some trains 5-6 miles off of the highway shimmering in the heat waves, but nothing I could film. I finally caught one at Melrose while looking at the nice depot there. I also took some shots at Clovis, Texico, Hereford, and Canyon.

Thanks for the comment and for watching. Clovis must have been quite a place back in the days when the Harvey House was open. I would have liked to have seen it in 1952 as well!
my dad runs the jackson tamper all thru this line,from clovis all the way thru belen.looks like some nice and strait track thru there....great vid
Wow I surly enjoyed this Video, last I saw Clovis train station was when I unlisted in the navy in 1952 and it looks the same.thank you
@boost4days1 Thanks for commenting. I had almost 700 miles in that road trip in a single day, but it was all fun and I really enjoyed the New Mexico segments. Lots of neat stuff still standing on that line.
Nicely done Jim 5*****
The old AT&SF kept towns like Clovis alive, as is the BNSF...if not for the railroad and Cannon AFB (my station '73-'78), Clovis would look like Melrose at the beginning...tiny, desolate and semi-closed! Still fond of the trains, though-they were heard off in the distance in base housing and reminded me of the L&N that passed by my home in Louisville, 1200 miles east.
thanks Sylvester
@boost4days1 I live in southwest Kansas on the UP line just before it goes into Oklahoma. It's a good ways from Clovis!!
