No, in the John West photo of the short eastbound freight the depot is on the RIGHT side of the photo, and yes it is on the north side of the tracks.
Here is Ignacio Depot....on the move in June of 1966,
494 in the deadline outside the Alamosa Roundhouse
Then the Roundhouse at Alamosa with 488 and 498 in the background
and 481 in the shop(had not run since it was shopped, until D&S in the 80's.
Last shot eastbound 484 from Durango, may be at Ignacio where we took
the depot shot. Or it could be another town in that area?
Sorry for the quality....I was 15 and shooting an instamatic.
