Within a year of service, the Rail Runner was running five car trains during peak periods.

The name "Rail Runner" is a play on the name of New Mexico's state bird, the roadrunner.

In late 2007, the Rail Runner was the subject of more criticism as a transportation funding shortfall left many state road projects stalled.

To prevent a funding shortfall, local and state governments began looking into possible taxes in the counties the Rail Runner serves.

On its first day of service, the Rail Runner carried 4,122 passengers.

On June 26, 2008, the Rail Runner passed 1,000,000 passengers.

Park & Ride passengers with a monthly pass get to ride the Rail Runner for free.

On December 17, a northbound Rail Runner struck and killed a man.

Rail Runner operates scheduled service seven days per week.

The station is the first Rail Runner stop to be constructed on private land, and the opening date has yet to be determined.
