Isleta Station was a railway station on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in Isleta, New Mexico. Located 12 miles (19 km) south of Albuquerque,[1][2] Isleta was a junction station, located at the point where two lines split. One line went to El Paso, Texas, while the other was the main line to Los Angeles.[3] The Southwest Chief passenger train now passes by on the Los Angeles line.
