Engle, New Mexico…. Now a ghost town, built in 1879 as a cattle shipping point on the Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, and was a thriving location until the Elephant Butte Damn was completed in 1916 and business dropped off as people moved away. Today it is headquarters for Ted Turner’s Armendaris ranch. An old school house still stands. Trains still pass through Engle, but the old train station has been torn down. Engle is located 17 miles east of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico on Highway 51.
