El Paso BNSF international rail bridge

About this crossing

An active freight-rail bridge crosses the border just west of Paso del Norte — BNSF's line toward Albuquerque, interchanging with Ferromex in Ciudad Juárez. It is one of El Paso's two international rail bridges (Union Pacific's crosses to the east), and it is not a road or pedestrian crossing: no traveller wait times exist. Cross at Paso del Norte, BOTA, Stanton or Ysleta.

Quick answers

Can I cross here by car, on foot, or by train?

No. This is freight infrastructure — BNSF interchanging with Ferromex — with no public passenger service of any kind. El Paso's traveller crossings are Paso del Norte (24 hours, northbound cars and pedestrians), BOTA (24 hours, all traffic, toll-free), Stanton (SENTRI) and Ysleta (24 hours). Never approach a rail line or yard to attempt a crossing.
