Earl told me it was Farm Yard, and I have heard that somewhere else. In the old days I never knew it was anything other than departing Alamosa. We shot a train there in 1956 and chased to Alamosa. I guess it makes sense they had different yards since trains went 4 directions from Alamosa at one time, until the Salida(Valley) line was gone, so different names might have been appropriate.
