Taken near the rail yards at Belen, New Mexico. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe use this, primarily to fuel trains. The fences are there to keep us out of these busy yards. I took this photo near the Harvey House museum, which is just alongside the track. Some of the trains that stop here are 3 miles long. Image processed with GIMP.
