FROM MOVIES TO MARRIAGES. THAT'S WHAT COULD HAPPEN AT ALBUQUERQUE'S RAILYARDS IN THE BARELAS AREA. GILBERT MONTANO IS THE DEPUTY C-A-O FOR THE CITY. HE TELLS US IT'S BEEN QUITE A WHILE SINCE THE RAILYARDS HAVE SEEN MUCH ACTIVITY, BEYOND THE FILMING OF SOME MOVIES THERE. HE SAYS IT HASN'T BEEN USED SINCE THE 1950S WHEN BURLINGTON NORTHERN LEFT THE FACILITY.
MONTANO SAYS THE CITY WILL SOON BE OPENING PART THE RAILYARD AREA TO THE PUBLIC. HE SAYS IT'S HOPED IT WILL BE USED IN THE SAME WAY FACILITIES LIKE THE BIO-PARK ARE USED: FOR EVENTS LIKE WEDDINGS AND LARGE GATHERINGS.
