As I said in the last post, the Farmers Market is right next to the railyard.
Santa Fe has a great commuter systems which includes trains and buses. The depot is right next to the Farmers Market and lots of restaurants, galleries, etc. There are three stops in the metro Santa Fe area and the Rail Runner goes all the way south to Albuquerque. It's $10 one way to Albuquerque or $11 one way. Veterans ride free and prices for seniors are very low with Wednesdays free. The Rail Runner runs daily with trains scheduled regularly. We decided that we wanted a ride.
We drove to a stop about 5 stops from the depot where we could park the car. Getting to the train required going up and over the rail tracks on a walkway high up in the air.....not my favorite part.
The train was spotless with lots of conductors/ security so it was really nice.
We enjoyed the countryside speeding by.
We watched passengers getting on and off at various stops. Yes, they do accommodate bicycles.
A typical station along the way.
This was in the main station at the Depot. We walked around the market a little more and then boarded the next train headed back to the station where we left the car. On the way back we heard couples chatting about how they used a combination of buses and trains to get all over town. They were headed back after visiting the Farmers Market. It was a great ride.
