View from about where the Plaza Theatre is now, looking south down El Paso street toward Juarez;
The tracks in middle of street are probably for El Paso-Juarez mule-drawn trolleys, as shown below this photo

Plaza Park looking Northeast.  Railroad tracks run just north of the plaza in front of the dwellings.  This became a problem as
El Paso grew, which is why the railroad was built underground through town, completed in late 1940's, early '50s.
