The Santa Fe Southern Railway train with about 25 tourists aboard slammed into a Land Rover sport-utility vehicle just before 4 p.m. Sunday at the Rabbit Road crossing south of Interstate 25. No one was seriously injured, according to state police.

The driver of the vehicle, Elaine Siegel, 65, of Santa Fe, declined treatment by paramedics, police said, and no one on the train, which was traveling about 10 miles per hour, was hurt.

Sgt. Lawrence Murray said the caboose of the train, which was traveling north from Lamy, hit Siegel's vehicle as she attempted to cross the tracks from the west, apparently ignoring the flashing signals and ringing bells.

Murray said her vehicle was pushed about 30 feet along the tracks, and ended up facing west on the east side of the tracks.

It was towed from the scene.

Murray said the train came to a stop about 120 feet from the intersection.

Siegel said that with the sun behind her, she did not notice the flashing signals and was not sure that they were even working.

She said she was returning from a flea market at the Oshara Village development.

Siegel was alone in the vehicle.

Police spokesman Lt. Eric Garcia said Siegel will be charged with failing to yield to the train.

Thousands of visitors yearly ride in the train's vintage 1920s coaches or stand on a flatbed car as the train traces the original route that carried early tourists, new residents, artists, scientists and business people into the city.

At the time of the crash the train consisted of the engine, a cab car, the flatbed car, another cab car and the caboose, Murray said.

He said the case will be given to the National Transportation and Safety Board for further investigation.
