Lamy, New Mexico

The town of Lamy is located 18 miles south of Santa Fe, New Mexico on US Hwy 285. Lamy is a railroad town created in 1879 when the Atchison,Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad laid its main track through New Mexico. The AT & SF by-passed the city of Santa Fe because the climb was too much for the engines of the day, so a spur line was built to the capital from Lamy. Lamy grew up where the spur line connects Santa Fe to the main track.The Lamy Depot is still open for Amtrak service, and the Santa Fe Southern Railroad brings a tourist train to Lamy over the spur line almost daily.

Come spend an afternoon in the shady Railroad Park across from the Museum.
