A Working Mainline in the High Desert
This camera looks out over a stretch of the BNSF Raton Subdivision near milepost 770, one of the most scenic rail corridors in the American Southwest. Multiple tracks fan across the foreground, hosting parked freight cars, maintenance-of-way equipment, and through traffic on a route that climbs toward Raton Pass.
The Southwest Chief and Daily Traffic
Railfans tune in to catch Amtrak's Southwest Chief on its run between Chicago and Los Angeles, as well as BNSF freight and local maintenance trains. The PTZ camera pans and zooms across the yard, giving a changing perspective on the comings and goings along this single-track mainline.
The Historic Castaneda Hotel
Anchoring the view is the Castaneda Hotel, a Mission Revival Harvey House built in 1898 and lovingly restored. Once a trackside dining and lodging stop for Santa Fe Railway passengers, it stands as a landmark of the golden age of American rail travel.
