4K - Amtrak, Rail Runner, & BNSF Freight Action in Albuquerque ft. AMTK 822 and Siemens Chargers!

Presented in 4K! Over the course of this year, I've visited the New Mexico area around 3 times. While my destination and primary focus was the historic semaphore signals in the Northern part of the state, Albuquerque was a place I passed through each time. While there each time, I had a few hours to kill before my flights home at the nearby Sunport.
Albuquerque is one interesting place to railfan! However, it's somewhere I wouldn't recommend going alone and showing off your camera equipment!! I made my visibility to a minimum, especially since the tracks pass through some not so nice areas. Having said that, I caught some pretty awesome trains during the duration I was there. Featured here, are various New Mexico Rail Runner Express trains, the Southwest Chief #3 and #4, as well as daily BNSF Autorack "flyer" train to Belen, and a local BNSF job switching around South ABQ with a cool SD40!
Main features include catching Amtrak 822 on train #3 back in April, as it heads to be displayed at Fullerton Railroad Days. Amtrak #4 the following morning also had 2 brand new Siemens Charger locomotives, heading for the TTCI facility in Pueblo, Colorado. Ultimately destined for the Amtrak Cascades service, it's awesome to see these brand spankin' new engines here in the Southwest!!
Thanks for watching!

Nice catch. 822 and 145 were in Folkston on the 1st

I had heard somewhere that the trains were no longer allowed to blow their air horns in Albuquerque. Is this true?

[@Amtrakmaverick]

The BNSF is a EMD SD40-1
