New Mexico Commuter Rail Goes BioDiesel

By | August 1st, 2006 1 Comment

railrunner.jpgA new commuter rail line (RailRunner) opened up a couple of weeks ago that runs north and south from Albuquerque and will eventually connect to Santa Fe. This is significant news in and of itself – especially in the car dependant sun belt. But the most amazing thing about it is that the system will run on biodiesel (see page here). That’s pretty darn neat. There’s no mention on whether that’s pure biodiesel or some kind of blend but it’s a very significant, if largely symbolic move by the NM government and transit authorities. Bravo!
