"I think you should be able to take pictures anyplace on the Rail Runner, and I think you should be able to walk on their land also because they walk on our land," said Albuquerque resident Pat Moody.

Moody says if she were riding the Rail Runner to Santa Fe and had an opportunity to capture a New Mexican sunset while passing through an Indian reservation, she would take a picture, despite the pueblo's request to not take pictures of their land.

“I can understand if they're doing a religious ceremony or something on their pueblo and don't want you to take a picture, but of the land, no. I think you should be able to take a picture," Moody said.

But there are some New Mexicans who disagree with Moody.

"I think we should respect their wishes and not take pictures going through the pueblo as long as it's clearly marked where it starts and stops," said Miriam Ortiz y Pino.

The train conductor lets riders know to put their cameras away on Santo Domingo and San Felipe land. Rail Runner officials say the pueblos made that request.

The Isleta and Sandia pueblos have not asked the conductor to have riders put away their cameras.

"I think it goes back years and years ago when a lot of folks from other parts of the country would come in and take photos of the pueblos and then the photos would be published in national publications all over the country and I think they felt violated," said Lawrence Rael of the Rail Runner.

Rail Runner officials say if someone is caught breaking the rule, they will get another reminder by the conductor of the pueblo's request. But officials say they have not had any problems with anyone taking pictures on the pueblo land.
