<p>The El Paso and South Western, EP&SW, built into Tombstone in 1903, according to David Myrick's book, <em>New Mexico's Railroads</em>. The EP&SW became part of the Southern Pacific.</p><p>The EP&SW also built the line from El Paso to Tucumcari, and later with the Rock Island, became a mainline to Chicago.</p><p>Myrick says the EP&SW started out 'as a modest 36-mile railroad from Fairbank to Bisbee, Arizona, built in the name of The Arizona and Southeastern Railroad in 1888-89.' This line is not shown in Steam Powered Video Arizona and New Mexico Atlas, though. The Fairbank to Tombstone section is shown.</p><p> Art </p>
