I recall that there is one narrow gauge train that runs mostly in northern New Mexico and there is the Durango and Silverton narrow gauge that runs from Durango, CO to Silverton, CO. I have not been on the train, but we have made the road trip between those two areas a number of times, and at points the train parallels highway 550. Very pretty area. I had heard that the train drops backpackers off at one of the stops, where they can reboard days later, but I have no first hand knowledge. The url for the train is http://www.durangorailway.com/. I think the N.M. train is the something & Chama railroad. You may be able to find that on the web. Hope this partial information helps.
