Colmor Cutoff
While in northeast portion of New Mexico, I thought I’d check out a railroad that never quite got completely built: Santa Fe’s Colmor Cutoff. These bridge abutments are some hard evidence that it existed, found in Mt. Dora, near Clayton.
As part of its sprawling system, the ATSF began a line between Boise City, Texas, and Colmor, New Mexico, practically mirroring the Cimarron Route of the precursor Santa Fe Trail.This line would be abandoned just 35 miles short of its completion (Colmor), though trains did run on this section prior to being shut down. A route further south would be favored over this one—the Belen Cutoff.
Go to this link if you're interested in more information on this line.
This location, Clayton, New Mexico, is adjacent to an area of truly dark sky, so I had planned to shoot the Milky Way; it made sense to combine my two interests.

Continuing with the trip down memory lane, one last print from the past. This is a bromoil print of the Fieldstone Lighthouse in Scidmore Park in Three Rivers, Michigan. This is the opposite view of the one I have on-sale in our shop. It is from my Independent Study portfolio. I really loved learning this turn of the century, alternative photographic process! I would love to try my hand at it again but it takes hours to ink up one print. ~ Matteo #filmphotography #filmisalive #filmisnotdead #bwphotography #bwphoto #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhite #darkroom #darkroomphotography #analogphotography #analogfilm #35mmfilm #35mmphotography #pentax #bromoil #bromoilprint #threeriversmichigan #scidmorepark #alternativeprocess #alternativeprocessphotography (at Three Rivers, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-fcdxOpB2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
