This Memorial requests the New Mexico Department of Transportation to study how long train crossings are blocked across the state, acknowledging that these blocked crossings, which can last up to thirty minutes, are a critical issue for the movement of goods and can cause congestion and safety problems, especially for rural residents. The department is asked to work with rail companies and their unions to propose changes that would reduce these blocked crossing times, report its findings and recommendations to legislative committees by September 1, 2025, and have a copy of the memorial sent to the Secretary of Transportation.
