House Memorial 41 requests the New Mexico Department of Transportation to assess the duration of blocked train crossings throughout the state and to collaborate with rail providers to recommend operational changes aimed at reducing these blocked crossing times. The memorial highlights the importance of rail lines for the movement of goods and acknowledges the congestion and safety issues caused by trains blocking crossings for extended periods, particularly affecting rural communities.

Additionally, the memorial calls for the Department of Transportation to engage with railroad services and unions representing railroad employees to gather insights and recommendations. The findings and conclusions from this assessment are to be reported to the relevant interim committees studying transportation by September 1, 2025. A copy of the memorial will also be sent to the secretary of transportation for further distribution.
