     The town was named for a railroad engineer
and once had 3,500 people. It boomed during the area's mining days, including the mining of vanadium in the nearby Caballo Mountains. It had its own post office 1907-56, but faded as mining failed. Today, it is a ranching area, with only a railroad sign remaining from its glory days. Courtesy Michael Cook.
