I was on a one of the bridges that crosses the train tracks when I took this photo. In the photo you can see the other bridge as there is a white truck right in the middle of it. I was facing east as you can almost see the Sandia Mountains in the backround.

2006-07-09 03:42Amtrak runs on these rails as well as freight trains. Starting in July 2006 the New Mexico Rail Runner will also run on these tracks. It will be a passanger train from Belen which is south of Albuquerque to Bernalillo which is north of Albuquerque. As soon as I get a chance to photogragh these trains I will.
