The Secret Tracks to Victory: New Mexico’s Rails and the Atomic Age
Friday, February 13 | Doors Open at 5:30 | Presentation Begins 6:00
In the 1940s, New Mexico’s railroads were the unsung lifelines of the Manhattan Project. More than just transit lines, they were essential arteries that moved the personnel, materials, and ideas necessary to end World War II.
From the leadership of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway to the watchful eyes of female station agents on the front lines of logistics, the railroad industry was woven into the fabric of the war effort. These high-stakes operations did more than secure a victory; they pioneered the logistics and safety protocols that still define modern rail operations 80 years later.
