===Rail===
{{see also|Lamy station}}
The former [[Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad]] (ATSF), now the [[Burlington Northern Santa Fe]] (BNSF), passes through Lamy.<ref name=":0"/> Little freight traffic now passes over the line, but it remains the route of the [[Amtrak]] [[Southwest Chief]], with one train daily in each direction stopping at Lamy Station.

The significance of Lamy as a railroad junction is related in the Oscar-nominated documentary, ''[[The Day After Trinity]]'' (1980), about the building of the first atomic bomb, and is referred to by instrumental group the [[California Guitar Trio]] in a five-part suite ''Train to Lamy'' on their second album ''Invitation'' (1995).

====Santa Fe spur line====
From 1992 to 2014, the spur line was taken over by the [[Santa Fe Southern Railway]], which operated a popular excursion train, using vintage passenger railcars and modern freight cars, between Santa Fe and Lamy.

In 2020, several prominent Santa Fe residents, including novelist [[George R.R. Martin]], created ''Sky Railway'', an excursion train that runs on Santa Fe Southern Railway's route between Lamy and Santa Fe, although the excursions themselves do not run all the way to Lamy.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sky Railway's FAQs |url=https://www.skyrailway.com/faq/https://www.skyrailway.com/faq/ |access-date=2024-09-24 |website=Sky Railway |language=en}}</ref> Sky Railway began operations in December, 2021.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Nott |first=Robert |title=Sky Railway excursion train to launch with holiday rides |url=https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/sky-railway-excursion-train-to-launch-with-holiday-rides/article_d121a7dc-473a-11ec-b4f4-df1c9b891443.html |access-date=2022-11-24 |website=Santa Fe New Mexican |language=en}}</ref>

The Lamy Railroad and History Museum, located in the historic "Legal Tender" restaurant building, is dedicated  to preserving local history and heritage, with  emphasis on the railroads and their impact on the area.
