The newest Rail Runner Station, located at N.M. 599 and Interstate 25 is now open. The new rail station, located on the south side of Santa Fe, opened to the public on August 1. This is the third station to open in Santa Fe County. The unique design of the station includes a walkway that goes over northbound traffic and connects to a platform in the median of I-25 at N.M. 599.

“This station will provide a connection for Santa Fe County as well as serving as the new transportation hub for the north,” said Transportation Secretary Gary Girón. “With the institution of our new Park and Ride shuttle and other transit service, more people will be able to travel with ease and convenience.”

The Rail Runner will begin running on Sundays. Train service on Sundays will begin by Labor Day weekend and will offer a morning, afternoon, and evening train with stops between Belen and Santa Fe.

“The Rail Runner is alternative transportation that will serve New Mexico well into the future,” said Mid-Region Council of Governments Executive Director Lawrence Rael. “The Santa Fe County/N.M. 599 Station was designed to accommodate growth in the area, and this station is well-positioned to support economic development of New Mexico—especially in the City of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County.”

There will be a shuttle service from the 599 station that will stop at Rancho Viejo, New Mexican Plaza, Jaguar Drive, Camino Entrada, and the Santa Fe Place Mall. In addition, Park and Ride service to Espanola, Los Alamos, Pojoaque, and Las Vegas will continue to be provided with a direct link toLos Alamos from the N.M. 599 Station.

More details on Sunday service will be released in the coming weeks.
