In 1902, Phelps, Dodge and Company built the El Paso and Southwestern Railroad to link El Paso, Texas, with 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 uses a portion of the abandoned EP and SW railroad bed between Columbus and Anapra.
