John,

Back on January 3, 2014, I posted a little information regarding annunciator at Cumbres.

"Later train sheets, after closing of Cumbres station,reflect arrival times for eastbound trains.
These times would be indicative of being just west of Cumbres as times for eastbound departures of helpers and trains would not be shown.
Times shown for westbound trains did not reflect arrival but did reflect departure.
This would suggest annunciator just west of Cumbres."

That appeared in the thread of post for "Alamosa January 3, 1949."
