Does the Southwest Chief go over the Pecos River High Bridge

[travelchick45]

I was just looking over the route guide. I know the train goes over the river, but does it go over the high bridge? I'm just trying to mark some of the scenic highlights of the trip on the route guide.

No, the High Bridge is on the Sunset Route in Texas. The SWC crossing of the Pecos in New Mexico is more low key.

Yep. The Texas Eagle/Sunset Limited use the Pecos River High Bridge that is a few miles west of Del Rio Texas and close to the Mexico border :

The Southwest Chief crosses the Pecos River at Ribera, New Mexico, which is be Las Vegas, NM and Lamy, NM.
