On the northside of Interstate 10 just about two miles east of Lordsburg, New Mexico I caught a glimpse of an odd track arrangements. The two sidings on either side of the dual track main were very short. Maybe 200' long and it appeared that there was a concrete pad between the two siding and between the mainlines. When I got home to California, I checked the area using google satellite images. The fuzzy screen shot attached shows how short the sidings are, but I can't tell if the ground is a pad or not. This is UP (former SP) trackage, and my only guess was some type of servicing facility, possibly watering old stock cars of hogs. There does not appear to be any grades of substance to require helpers and there were no signs of old coal or water towers. Any ideas? Just curious.
