A humble (almost invisible) Southwestern style former ATSF passenger depot still serves rail passengers as the local office for the RioMetro RailRunner commuter passenger rail service to Albuquerque.
Next door is a magnificent Mission Revival Harvey House that was built to feed the passengers passing through Belen. The two buildings are starkly different -- one utilitarian, and one magnificent.
Both are worth a visit. :)
