Alamosa Trading Company is the largest caravan outfit in the Four States Commonwealth.

Background
Founded in 2145, the Alamosa Trading Company grew through the ranks of caravan companies and is now a merchant empire in the Four States and Texas Commonwealth. However, partly due to poor record keeping and being a small time company, the founder was forgotten, records were lost, etc.

As opposed to many other caravan companies, Alamosa often utilizes water ways to transport most of their goods. These water ways include the Colorado, Green, Arkansas and Rio Grande rivers.

External relations
Unlike many trading companies, Alamosa keeps its connections open with other groups, readily importing from them for additional supplies and exporting surplus for profit. Some notable trade partners include the Gun Runners, Happy Trails Caravan Company and Far Go Traders.

Technology
The Alamosa Trading Company has either scavenged or manufactured boats over the years, which they use in water transportation. Otherwise, the trading company is very similar to others as they use pack brahmin to carry or pull heavy loads in a wagon. Caravan guards often carry lever action or semi-automatic rifles, and always carry two revolvers. In case one revolver malfunctions or jams, there is still a back-up.

Caravan guards are originally outfitted in leather armor, but often wear protective articles they find on their routes, like metal armor or even pre-War combat armor if they're lucky enough.

Appearances
Alamosa Trading Company is only mentioned in Fallout: New Vegas.
