Thank you again for posting these great snippets of history.

When an extra stops for tens of minutes with Merchandise, was that from one car holding LCL? Would this car have been next to the engine or caboose for spotting?
I assume an LCL merchandise car would have been pulled from the Alamosa freight house and tacked onto the train?

Best Regards,
Nick Gully
