I was noticing on Google Maps that there is a siding heading north off the Alamosa mainline just to the east of the depot just after the track crosses the river. It also looks like it was a wye at one time, is this the remnants of where the valley line originated and headed north out of Alamosa? In the image I saw just now on Google there are many tankcars positioned on the track, and the eastern leg of the wye no longer exists.

Is this close to correct?

Thanks,

Dan
