Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — A proposed freight rail line in northwest New Mexico is gaining traction, thanks to collaboration between San Juan County, the Navajo Nation, and the state. Officials say the line is feasible and could bring jobs and shipping opportunities to the region. The next steps include environmental review and narrowing down a 90-mile route. The project is expected to reach its next major milestone by mid-2027.
