Belen Station: 2/12/19

As I waited for the RailRunner (New Mexico commuter train) to leave Belen, I watched the freight yard next to me.

There were quite a few trains backed up, much more than normal.  I don’t know the reason, but normally, there is not more than a train or two sitting on the north side of the road bridge.  Most of them are moving.  Today, there were several, and they were sitting still.

BNSF 8160

BNSF 4400

The lighting was all wrong and I had too many reflections on the train window glass as well.  I typically have time in the afternoon to sit and watch trains, but the sun is behind them, making for saturated photos.

Thank you for reading my post.

Albuquerque Engine Shops

There are some old Santa Fe engine shops in downtown Albuquerque.  I have not yet toured these shops, but it is on my list.  They have a farmer’s market there in the spring.

Currently, a movie is being filmed in the engine shop.  I’m not sure what movie, and I’m speculating, based on the large spotlights at night and such, but I bet there is a movie that is being filmed there.

I’ll keep you posted.  I hope to get in there this spring.
