Comments:
Very good condition. Good margins. Smith's monogram in the lower left corner of block. As depicted here circa 1950, Elgin Station (Elgin, Arizona - very close to the Mexican and United States international border) was a small Southern Pacific railroad stop/station that serviced the local (mostly ranching) outlying residents of the area. The building seen here was actually the Elgin Station Section house (it still stands) that housed Southern Pacific employees. The circular structure in front is a covered well. Today (2015) the actual station and its ancillary structures are gone as are the railroad tracks. However, very little goes to waste in rural areas, especially when free. The railroad track may be gone but the actual track still exists, mostly re-purposed as cattle guards, and the railroad ties still exist in the form of house foundations and in other recycled forms.
