Body Discovered Near Train Hub In Santa Teresa

 Doña Ana County Sheriff’s detectives are investigating the death of a man whose body was discovered on the train tracks by a Union Pacific employee Monday night.

   The discovery was reported just before 9 p.m. in the 8300 block of Airport Road in Santa Teresa.

   An initial investigation suggests the man, believed to be a Mexican national, has ties to Los Angeles, but it is unknown where he jumped on to the train. Detectives say he somehow was thrown from the train and his body became lodged between the cars and the rail.

   The man’s identity is being withheld pending notification of family.
