DescriptionA view of the Rail Yards taken from a car driving down Second Street Southwest in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the Barelas neighborhood. A chain linked fence with barbed wire separates the viewer from a number of abandoned buildings that were once part of the Atchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe Railway shops. They are large, multi-story buildings composed of brick, stone, and green fiberglass windowpanes, some of which are missing. Between the buildings is a series of steel structures called a stransfer table. Yellow pipes and valves are in the foreground just behind the fence, with a train car on tracks at the left side of the frame behind them and in front of the warehouses.On View
