More tales from the train trip across the Country.
When we crossed over from El Paso, Texas to New Mexico, the West of movie fame, truly arrived. Our first stop was Deming and it was basically nothing but a mobile home by the track. Another hour passed and we arrived in Lordsburg.
This town has the look of the old west and as a matter of fact, Stagecoach, the 1939 John Wayne movie was about this town. As you can see in the background, the building right across from the Amtrak station is called the Stage Coach Inn and Cafe, probably in the movies honor.
While trying to figure this out, I found that the shops on the lower level are restaurants, including the one on the far right, called "The Whistle Stop". Reviews are good, by the way.
Somehow, I don't think I will be stopping for a meal there anytime soon. :-)
