Into the New Mexico sunset. It was dark by the time we crossed into Arizona, and after seeing Winslow on the route ahead of us on the map, I had the Eagles' Take It Easy in my head for the next 150 miles. As you do now, too.

Devil's Throne, New Mexico, between Santa Fe and Albuquerque -- site of some of Amtrak's publicity photos for the Southwest Chief as it passes close alongside.

Just south west of Glorieta Pass (as described in the opening chapter of @ibogost 's Alien Phenomenology) is this place, very visible from the train as it snakes its way down to Lamy. As I found out later, it's by Bart Prince, built 2003 -- there's an art

I don't think the red earth here in northeastern New Mexico is the same kind of sandstone I grew up with in Devon, but the visual effect was like looking into a not-too-distant future where the climate has shifted.

Raton, New Mexico. The architecture starts to become pretty distinctive, either Mission-style or pueblo-style or a mixture, but always such warm colours.
by Dan Lockton

(continuing photos from a summer of #Amtrak) Just into New Mexico on the Southwest Chief. So many (often precarious) telegraph poles along the tracks were an interesting reminder that transport and communications infrastructure were once much more tightly

Highest point on the Santa Fe railroad: the Raton Tunnel. The font and bullet holes(?) give the sign a certain character. More tomorrow as the soil becomes increasingly red and combined with the temperature, gives me a preview of what Devon will be like b

Climbing towards Raton Pass, the Colorado / New Mexico border. Now, after about 1400 miles of relative flatness, we reached the Rockies.

Distinctive golden dome visible from the train -- Trinidad High School, Colorado.

How far in advance would you have to plan cornering? Trinidad, Colorado.
by Dan Lockton

Trinidad, Colorado. By now the light and the colours had started to shift to this amazing golden tint, which became increasingly red as we went on into New Mexico.

An actual cowboy, in Colorado, plus dogsters. This was one of the nicest aspects of Amtrak -- seeing glimpses of people's lives, on routes where almost everything that passes is freight, so people would often stop and watch the twice-a-day passenger train

Dairy calf hutches, Kansas.
by Dan Lockton

Kansas, just west of Dodge City, which is not really like the covers of my dad's cowboy books had led me to believe when I was a kid. There are many cattle though.

Kansas sunrise. There were quite a lot of wind turbines in the Great Plains -- looks like it's reaching a point of normality. But of course, "aLl Of a SUddeN it stOps, ThE WinD aNd the TeLeviSioNs go oFf" so what do they know?
by Dan Lockton

Continuing posting photos from a summer of trips to distract me from the realities of the new semester... here's a blurry Kansas dawn from the Amtrak Southwest Chief. I really like this colour palette, almost vaporwave meets Turner. Well, maybe not!
by Dan Lockton

Dramatic Missouri sunset from the train. There was definitely some tint on the windows (and dust!) that affected the colours a bit, but this is pretty close to how it looked. More tomorrow...
by Dan Lockton

Afternoon sun in the Amtrak Superliner Roomette, somewhere in Missouri. The suspension is so soft that it's a pretty comfortable sleep.
