Viewing Album:  Albuquerque & Belen New Mexico 3/29-3/30/09
 
By:Marlowe Barnes
Dates:3/29/2009 - 3/30/2009
Album Info:While Albuquerque is no longer a rail mecca, just to the south is the town of Belen, a railfan's delight, and Abo Canyon, which is pretty much off limits due to a massive right-of-way widening project that is not setting well with the neighbors.
