ONLY WILE E. COYOTE WOULD DRIVE:

Rail Runner trains beat snowy I-25 (KRQE, 12/15/08)

Drivers found it rough going on Interstate 25 today, but the hundreds of passengers testing the new Rail Runner Express route to Santa Fe didn't give a hoot about the highway.

About 800 people boarded the train from Bernalillo to Santa Fe. Most of them were dignitaries who wanted to see something that's been a dream for so long become reality.

A packed Rail Runner made history, for the first time, taking passengers to Santa Fe. Its debut run was a huge hit.

"It's wonderful," a passenger named Ruth said. "I'm really excited."
