Coming from afar
Title:  Coming from afar
Description:  One of the things I wanted to do was get a shot of the Southwest Chief while in the Albuquerque area. The timing was good to catch it at Rio Puerco, about 35 miles west of town, and more convenient to my host, who lives in Belen. Plus, there was the added attraction of a scenic spot. The westbound Chief rolls toward Rio Puerco across the scrub, the Sandia Mountains looming in the distance.

Between the signals
Title:  Between the signals
Description:  Amtrak #3 passes between the eastbound home signals at Rio Puerco. A few miles farther east, the line splits, the north track going to the Laguna Sub toward Albuquerque, the south track, the Gallup Sub, going to Belen, which carries almost all of the freight traffic. The dispatcher moved him to the south track at Dalies, 6 1/2 miles to the east, well see why in a moment.

You can see a lot
Title:  You can see a lot
Description:  One thing about the view out west is that it is panoramic. A wide view of Amtraks Southwest Chief and a waiting eastbound stack shows the vastness of the region. The south track, the one Amtrak is on, has a slightly better grade, at .6% than the north track, which is 1% between here and Suwanee, a dozen miles to the west.

Unexpected
Title:  Unexpected
Description:  Amtrak has a tracker that allows the user to see the locations of all the trains in its system. Two days after our first visit to Rio Puerco, the tracker showed eastbound #4 as five hours late. This was unexpected, but allowed me to get a shot of the train as it raced toward Albuquerque late in the afternoon. Here it is, rolling past on the north track with the same power it had going west two days earlier.

Amtrak #4
Title:  Amtrak #4
Description:  I did not expect to see the eastbound Chief, since it was scheduled into Albuquerque before noon, and we usually lingered over breakfast. On the 18th, the tracking site showed it was delayed out in Arizona, and was about five hours late. We went out to Rio Puerco to shoot freights, with the thought in mind we might catch it. We did; it showed about 30 minutes after we arrived, amidst a parade of seven freights. Heres #4 approaching Rio Puerco on the north track.
