Lordsburg, NM: UP/SP Coaling Tower and Roundhouse

(Satellite, of course the tower is long gone)

I wonder if it is a still a crew-change town because there was a westbound intermodal with three engines and an eastbound manifest with four engines in front and a DPU in the back. There are cuts of cars on some of the sidings. And the part where a branch connected to the mainline was retained so that they have a wye to turn the engines.

You can still see part of the foundation of the roundhouse.
