Downtown right along the river are the yards. West along 1-10 is the old SP Rio Grade river crossing and the old ATSF line into El Paso. Should be quite a few freights on the UP as this is where the Sunset route and the old Cotton Rock lines join up. A word of caution, though. This area is not the best to be running around in without taking a good look at what and who is around you no matter where you are.
