Where Did the Original VLA Railroad Ties Come From?
Question: I please was curious to ask about the VLA located between Datil and Magdalena, NM — is it true that the railroad equipment used to build the layout came from the Santa Fe Railway? — Lindsey
Answer: The original railroad ties used on the VLA transporter tracks came from old Department of Defense railroads in the 1970s. Today replacements are made with brand new ties.
