Several years ago I did a post pertaining to non railroad structures at Cumbres.
Of course a search does not aid me in finding that post.
My guess regarding the structure behind the depot is non railroad.
The structure behind the section house may be some sort of shed, such as coal shed.
My Cumbres structure information is, at present, safely tucked away in some unknown location.
