Our view: Hooray, Santa Fe saved the caboose
2015
Overview
That was just the beginning. [Rick Martinez] found out that Santa Fe Southern Railway was planning to sell the iconic caboose, which would leave the lot abandoned. Martinez went to work raising money and the alarm so that Santa Fe would keep the caboose. Through his activities, enough donations came in to allow Keep Santa Fe Beautiful to buy it. The group also has a 25-year deal with the city that keeps the caboose anchored to the location. Now that he's saved the caboose, if only Martinez would turn his gaze across St. Francis, along Cerrillos, where weeds still choke the railroad tracks and make the other side of the street look a mess. The intersection won't be completed until lots are clear of weeds, trash is picked up and all sides of the street are presentable.
