Belen BNSF Rail Yard - New Mexico, USA

Camera byVirtual Railfan↗

From the old Harvey House in Belen, New Mexico, this camera looks over BNSF's Belen Yard, where long freight trains on the main line between Chicago and Los Angeles meet the line coming up from El Paso.


Belen became known as the Hub City after the Santa Fe Railway finished the Belen Cutoff in 1907, a new route across New Mexico that turned the town into a major junction, and it's still one of BNSF's key freight crossroads today.


The Harvey House was one of the Fred Harvey Company's railroad restaurants, where travelers stopped to eat along the line, and today it's a museum. The town sits on the west bank of the Rio Grande, about 35 miles south of Albuquerque.


Did You Know? Belen was founded in 1740 as Nuestra Señora de Belén, and Belén is the Spanish word for Bethlehem.
