Biographical History
Northern New Mexico coal mining and coking company organized in 1905 by Henry and Hugo Koehler of St. Louis, Missouri. As owner of the Raton Coal Field in Colfax County, New Mexico, the company owned all of the coal in an 800 square mile area of Northern New Mexico. To assure competitive rail service for their coal and coke traffic, the company opened the St. Louis, Rocky Mountain and Pacific Railway Company in 1907. This rail line ran 120 miles, traversing the company's holdings and connecting with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe; the Colorado and Southern; and the El Paso and Southwestern lines; and also provided transport for the agricultural products of the area. The rail line was sold the the Santa Fe in 1913 and in 1915 was renamed the Rocky Mountain and Santa Fe. The entire interest of the coal company was sold to the Kaiser Steel Corporation in 1955.
