Subject

Description
The train yards in El Paso that border the Rio Grande are favorite crossing points for undocumented workers. The trains provide relatively easy and quick transportation out of town, and the yards provide many hiding and resting areas. This is the notorious "Black Bridge," site of repeated violence. It is also called the "East Railroad Bridge." This view looks south from El Paso into Ciudad Juarez.
