The El Paso and Northeastern Railroad (EPN) was a short-line railroad that operated in the southwestern United States, primarily serving the region around El Paso, Texas. Established in the early 20th century, it played a crucial role in transporting goods and passengers between El Paso and Alamogordo, New Mexico. The railroad was instrumental in the economic development of the areas it served, facilitating trade and travel. Over the years, it became part of larger railroad systems, contributing to the interconnected network of railroads in the American Southwest. The EPN's legacy continues to influence regional transportation today.
