History
[ edit ]
Lovington, New Mexico is the terminus of the TNMR.[2] Seminole, Texas via Lovington, NM and terminating at Roswell, New Mexico . However, the tracks were never constructed, and for a time the nearest rail line was the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in nearby Seagraves, Texas .
As a result of the oil discovered in the Permian Basin in 1927, the Texas–New Mexico Railway was incorporated on November 19, 1927. Within a year the railroad fell under the control of the Texas & Pacific Railway . Construction commenced in 1928 and the line was completed on July 20, 1930.[3] Union Pacific sold the property to RailTex, and short line service started on September 18, 1989.[3] [3] Iowa Pacific Holdings , which owned Permian Basin Railways, announced a major rebuilding of the railroad, including track upgrades and new locomotives, at a cost of more than $20 million.[4] [5]
In May 2015 Watco purchased the assets of the Texas – New Mexico Railroad from Iowa Pacific Holdings , and renamed the railroad the Texas & New Mexico Railway .[6]
