ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Commuter rail service between Santa Fe and the northern outskirts of the Albuquerque area is suspended Friday due to flood damage from powerful thunderstorms Thursday night.
Rail Runner spokeswoman August Meyers says 1 mile (1.6 kilometer) of track north of the Albuquerque suburb of Bernalillo (behr-nah-LEE’-yoh) was misaligned by runoff and that officials hope service between Bernalillo and Santa Fe can resume Saturday.
She says inspectors are checking a bridge, debris needs to be cleared and the track must be realigned.
Trains are running regular schedules between Bernalillo and the 100-mile system’s southern terminus in Belen.
