Growing up in Hobbs NM, frequent trips were made throughout the Permian Basin and the Texas Panhandle. Just East of the state line on highway 380 is a sign pointing to Bledsoe. I don’t remember much of it as a child but it has always called to me.
Last year while working the New Mexico region where driving everywhere is a must, I took a more scenic route from Lubbock to Roswell and drove to Bledsoe. My mind was flooded with memories of these wide open pastures spotted with oil rigs and cattle herds.
Like most small towns, there’s not much in Bledsoe. But each little town has it’s own center, a landmark, a heartbeat. This is what I found.

Santa Fe tried to merge with the Southern Pacific in the 60’s. The government stopped it…BUT…they started to paint both railroads with an experimental scheme titled: (get this..you’ll love it) The “Kodachrome” scheme. It is rare to see it on cars these days. Thought I’d share that with ya.
