ABOUT THIS FEED:
The historic Harvey House Museum is the former Belen Harvey House of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF), predecessor of today's BNSF Railway.
You're looking at BNSF's Belen Yard, part of their Southern Transcon, the former Santa Fe mainline between Chicago and Los Angeles, and this is where the El Paso Sub from the east becomes the Clovis Sub to the west.
From this camera you'll see mainline freight headed in both directions, as well as the yard switcher.
In regards to the pushers (distributed power units, or DPU's) on westbounds, they are not fueled directly at the fuel pads, rather a fuel truck is driven back to the middle or (more commonly) the end of the train where the DPU's are located.
Actual track orientation here is north (west)-south (east). You'll also see carmen (inspecting trains) going back and forth on ATV's.
There is no Amtrak service here; their Southwest Chief bypasses Belen to the north as it heads to/from Albuquerque.
Even though there is an ATCS layout file available, there is no server coverage, so no data for the layout. No radio streams available.
There’s no schedule for freight trains, but some of our more knowledgeable members will provide real-time information when it’s available. Please refrain from asking.

Haunted Bunker Belen NM
A group of friends visit this urban legend spot in an diclosed location in Belen NM to see for themselves if the stories are true. There were stories of haunting voices and many satanic rituals over the years.
The place has been on the market many of times, but its creepy movie like setting scares potential buyers off. Would you spend the night in the creepy place for a million dollars. well it could be
yours for little over a $100,000.00 It was said to have been constructed in the 1950s during The Cold War by the Government.

Artist And Belen Resident Judy Chicago Halts Plans For Museum | The Line
November 30, 2018 – Internationally acclaimed artist and feminist Judy Chicago has lived in Belen, New Mexico, for around 20 years. A museum was initially proposed in partnership with the city that would feature Ms. Chicago’s work as well as that of her photographer husband, Donald Woodman. But after objections at a recent city council meeting, with some Belen residents calling Chicago’s work pornographic, the couple said they would no longer proceed with the proposal. Gene Grant and the Line Opinion panelists discuss the proposal and the objections, and debate the objectives of public and private art.

ABOUT THIS FEED:
Barstow is located on BNSF Railway's Southern Transcon, the former Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF) mainline between Chicago and Los Angeles.
Barstow is fairly busy, both with BNSF traffic on their Southern Transcon, plus traffic of the Union Pacific Railroad (UP). This is where BNSF's Needles Sub from the east becomes the Cajon Sub to the west.
The UP's Los Angeles Sub (the former Los Angeles & Salt Lake [LA&SL]) ties into the BNSF ex-Santa Fe east of Barstow at Daggett.
West of Barstow at Valley Junction, BNSF's Mojave Sub diverges towards Tehachapi Pass, and is another former Santa Fe route, that also sees a good deal of UP traffic.
The (default) east camera looks towards the crossovers (switches) at control point (CP) Barstow, which is a light-on-approach CP, i.e., the signals are dark until a train is within the adjacent/approach signal block(s).
There is an ATCS layout available, but with little to no server (data) coverage.
There is a radio stream available, focused on the line to the west (Hesperia/Upper Cajon):
When’s the next train? Yeah, we get this a lot. There’s no schedule for freight trains, but some of our more knowledgeable members will provide real-time information when it’s available. Please refrain from asking.
Amtrak’s Southwest Chief stops in Barstow (BAR) twice daily: the eastbound #4 at 9:41 PM, and the westbound #3 at 3:45 AM (Pacific time zone).
The concrete pads you see are from when there were more platform tracks here at the station (Harvey House).
