MOTEL & TRAIN (Rt 66 Grants NM)
Twin sets of elevated tracks are immediately back of the motel. It must have been quite a shock to hear a train coming through your bathroom! The initial scare would have just worn off when another train would come by--perhaps in the opposite direction.
Aspiring sleepers would soon discover trains run all night, sometimes just 10 minutes apart.
Even a $19 rate wasn't enough to save this place. It's been gutted and abandoned.
