There were some changes made over the years. In about 1950 there was an addition added to the depot for Rio Grande Motorways'
This building shows up in this aerial view, which some one has dated as mid 1950's. Note that the second track does not extend East of the E street crossing and that the area at the Y seems to have been freshly cleaned out.
This may be for the new Motorways terminal shown here.
This photo taken by my father in June 1958 has the second track extended east of the depot
edit: Found this Dick Kindig photo dated 4-30-57 in my Brothers stuff, changed the date on my fathers photo to 1958
