You see something new each time you look at it. It's particularly interesting for me as I lived six blocks east of this location when I was in Albuquerque, many years in the future. Compare with the following: Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company's steam locomotive #3784 - Kansas Memory
Even more Steam Era Freight cars at the loading dock. Note the fuel cars. The first car is the same in both pictures Tk-K 100563. The second car seems to be the same Tk-J, ???54.

Classic Delano.
