Lordsburg - Least Used Amtrak Station in New Mexico

The sequel to Benson! This turned out to be a town with MUCH less going on...to the point that its biggest tourist attraction is a GHOST TOWN.
I'll bet in some dimension there's a loop where you go from Lordsburg to Benson via Amtrak, and then back to Lordsburg by Greyhound, and then back to Benson by train, and repeat into eternity.

It'll be the next least used station video, probably in the first month of two of next year!

Geez, Deming does look like a far worse station! I'm glad Lordsburg was the least used...
I personally liked Benson more! Lordsburg just didn't have a ton going on, although in fairness we didn't get to visit the museum.

Benson has an actual platform but Lordsburg doesn't!

Wait, how did the Benson station get a 2/10 but Lordsburg only 1/10?

When I lived in Phoenix I took the Sunset Limited on a weekend trip to all 3 really small towns, Benson Lordsburg and Deming. Left Saturday morning and came back Sunday evening.
Lordsburg was my favorite. The Ghost Town, the Museum (which was really nice!) and the old abandoned architecture was really nice.
Benson was alright.
Deming (the one you guys didn’t go to) was my least favorite. Nothing to do, hotels way on the outskirts, and the station is arguably worse because it is right next to a highway off-ramp in a sketchy area. Plus the train back was 6 hours late, so I had to wait in the freezing cold in the winter at 9pm for the train. A nicer station would have been appreciated.
Did you like Benson or Lordsburg better, Miles?
