The inscription on the Historical Marker reads: In 1902 Phelps, Dodge and Company built the El Paso and Southwestern Rail Road to link El Paso, Texas and the copper mines of Bisbee, Arizona and eventually, with several other mining towns throughout the region. Highway 9, New Mexico's "Border Route" between Columbus and Rodeo, parallels the old rail line, and actually utilizes a portion of the abandoned EP & SW railroad bed between Columbus and Ampara.
The marker is located on the South side of the highway. There are also corrals adjacent to the marker.
