Santa Fe Railway Shops, Industrial railway complex in Barelas, Albuquerque, United States.
The Santa Fe Railway Shops occupy twenty-seven acres with twenty-one structures built of concrete, steel, and glass between railroad tracks and city streets.
The facilities replaced wooden structures in 1914, after the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway selected Albuquerque as a major maintenance depot in New Mexico.
The railway complex employed 1,500 workers during the 1940s, transforming Albuquerque from a farming village into a significant commercial center in New Mexico.
The complex includes specific areas for locomotive maintenance, featuring a boiler shop, blacksmith shop, flue shop, and sheet metal house with overhead cranes.
The machine shop spans 165,000 square feet with uninterrupted glass curtain walls, making it the largest structure in this Neoclassical industrial compound.
