Spanning the Mexican Canyon of the Sacramento Mountains, the Mexican Canyon Trestle is the largest remaining trestle of 58 constructed for Charles B. Eddy's Alamogordo and Sacramento Railway. Climbing 4,747 feet in 32.5 miles, the spur accessed timber for Eddy's El Paso and Northeastern Railway. It also carried passengers in open-sided cars to Cloudcroft resorts and cabins. The line was abandoned in 1947, but immortalized in The Cloud-Climbing Railroad by Dorothy Jensen Neal. The 323-feet-long trestle is Cloudcroft's symbol, and was restored by the U.S. Forest Service in 2010.
